Rep. Lindsey Announces Run for 11th Congressional District Seat
Lindsey recently won reelection in November to Georgia's 54th district and will now seek the Republican nomination for the U.S. Congressional 11th District.
Rep. Ed Lindsey (R-Atlanta), who lives in Historic Brookhaven and represents its 54th district, announced Thursday that he is seeking Republican nomination for the 11th Congressional District of Georgia.
In an email, Lindsey said:
The 11th District is a wonderful and diverse district where over 700,000 of us have chosen to live, work, play, worship, and strive for better opportunities for our families. It stretches from Cartersville in Bartow County, through Cherokee County, to West Cobb County including Acworth, Kennesaw, Marietta, Smyrna, and Vinings, and finishes in Buckhead and the new city of Sandy Springs. In many ways, the 11th District is a microcosm of our state’s rich historical past and the hope for our future.
