Georgia voters will determine on Jan. 5 who will represent the state in the U.S. Senate. Incumbent Republican David Perdue is being challenged by Democrat Jon Ossoff, an investigative journalist, while Republican incumbent Kelly Loeffler, who was appointed to the position by Gov. Brian Kemp when Sen. Johnny Isakson stepped down from the seat, is being challenged by the Rev. Raphael Warnock in the other race.
The state Senatorial races have taken on added significant in that wins by both Ossoff and Warnock would hand control of the Senate to Democrats, who already have a majority in the House of Representatives and the White House, with the Nov. 5 election of Joe Biden. A win by both Perdue and Loeffler, or any one of the two, would give Republicans a razor-thin advantage in the Senate.
Also on the ballot is a runoff for a state Public Service Commission seat. Republican Lauren “Bubba” McDonald is facing the challenge of Democrat Daniel Blackman.
Early in-person voting begins statewide on Dec. 14.
