Carol Porter to face Cagle in lt. governor race this fall

Carol Porter will be the Democrat who tries to unseat Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle this November. Porter, of Dublin, general manager of a small chain of newspapers, handily defeated her challenger, Tricia Carpenter McCracken, a self-described journalist and researcher from Augusta. She also did much better in her statewide race than her husband, state Rep. DuBose Porter, a longtime Democratic leader in the House, did in his race for governor. Cagle didn't draw a GOP opponent. There will also be a Libertarian candidate.
