Marietta attorney to run for Cobb Superior Court Clerk

Attorney Rebecca Keaton announced her candidacy this week for Cobb County Superior Court Clerk.

Current clerk Jay Stephenson announced last week that he would not seek re-election when his term ends Dec. 21, 2012.

Keaton owns a law practice in Marietta, and has served as an assistant solicitor general in the Cobb Solicitor’s office. She also founded The Keaton Foundation, a non-profit organization helping find homes for older orphans and special needs children.

Scott Johnson, former Cobb GOP chairman, will be Keaton’s campaign manager.
