Cobb representative announces re-election campaign

State Rep. David Wilkerson, D-Austell, announced his re-election this week to the Georgia General Assembly.

Wilkerson, a former chairman of the Cobb Democratic Party, who represented the 33rd district, will have a new district number because of reapportionment, and will be running in the 38th district in July.

Wilkerson is currently a member of the House Budget and Fiscal Affairs Oversight committee. In the session ended last week, Wilkerson led the charge against Cobb’s Republican-developed reapportionment map for the county’s school board seats.
