News AJC: Perdue picks Jim Cole as next secretary of state
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Thu, Dec 31, 2009 at 9:05 PM
Gov. Sonny Perdue has picked state Rep. Jim Cole, R-Forsyth, to replace Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel, the AJC's James Salzer reports.
Handel announced last week that she'd resign to focus on her gubernatorial campaign.
Republican Rep. Jim Cole, a three-term lawmaker from Forsyth in Middle Georgia, has been picked by Gov. Sonny Perdue to be the next Secretary of State. [...]Cole, 38, will serve out of the final year of Handel’s term. He will also run in 2010 for a full, four-year term.
Cole has been on Perdue’s House team for three years, carrying and pushing the governor’s legislation.
UPDATE: Says here that, sorry, ladies, Cole's taken. He's a former businessman who now serves as the assistant athletic director at Mercer University.

Greetings All, It's high five time all around over here at the secret underground Libertarian Command Center (LCC) as we get to put a big fat bull's eye on the impending State House District 125 special election. 4 special elections in Georgia before spring! Four opportunities to run Libertarian candidates unfettered by Georgia's 1943 Jim Crow ballot access laws! Four races that will be determined by the 'marginal' candidates that don't have all the advantages, just a desire to run and make a difference! Life is great!
