ATLANTA – Two Georgia House Democrats drawn into districts with fellow Democrats during the General Assembly’s recent redistricting special session will not seek reelection this year, Georgia Public Broadcasting reported Tuesday.
The new House map the legislature’s Republican majorities approved last month put Rep. Gregg Kennard, D-Lawrenceville, in the same Gwinnett County district with House Minority Whip Sam Park, D-Lawrenceville. Rep. Doug Stoner, D-Smyrna, was drawn into a Cobb County district with Rep. Teri Anulewicz, D-Smyrna.
