Sandy Springs House race to be decided in May primary
The Republican candidates to replace a long-term Sandy Springs legislator both agree the governor was right to veto two of the most controversial Republican-backed bills of the year.
Deborah Silcox and Graham McDonald, who are running to fill the House District 52 seat Joe Wilkinson is leaving after 16 years, both said they support Gov. Nathan Deal’s campus carry and religious freedom vetoes.
They also agree on the need for tax reform and transportation improvements.
But the pair is in the middle of a fight between Wilkinson and his former backers. They support McDonald, while Wilkinson supports Silcox.
