Probate Judge Mitchell Scoggins announced his decision to seek election for the Georgia House of Representatives District 14. His party sent the following information Wednesday morning.
“After serving as Probate Judge of Bartow County for almost twenty-eight years, and working a total of thirty-five years with Bartow County, I am announcing my bid for the Georgia House of Representatives for District 14. This seat will be vacated by Christian Coomer, who has been appointed by Governor Deal as a Judge of the Appellate Court of Georgia.
My wife, Donna (a retired teacher for Bartow County), and I celebrated 40 years of marriage this past May. We have two sons, Kurt (a teacher at Adairsville High School) and Blake (an attorney in Cartersville); two daughters-in-law, Lindsay (a Pre-School Director at First Presbyterian Church in Cartersville), and Ashley (a teacher at Cartersville Elementary); and two granddaughters, Sophie and Sela.
With my experience in county government, I am qualified for the job and will represent the citizens of Bartow and Floyd Counties with transparency and accountability.
I am a conservative candidate that supports pro-life, the 2nd Amendment (our right to bear arms), and freedom of religion.
It will be an honor to be elected as a public servant for Bartow and Floyd Counties. I thank you for your prayers, support, and your vote.”
