ATLANTA, Ga. (WTVM) -- Georgia Congressman Sanford Bishop will face at least one challenger for re-election.
The Secretary of State's office reports Republican Lee Ferrell has filed for Bishop's seat. Ferrell is listed as a disabled veteran, who lives in Albany.
As of midday Tuesday, Rep. Lynn Westmoreland had not filed papers for re-election -- nor had anyone else in his district. The deadline for Democrats and Republicans to qualify is 12:00 noon Friday.
On down the ticket, Republican Plez Hardin of Americus has filed to run for District Attorney in the Southwestern Circuit. There's been no filing so far by incumbent prosecutor Cecilia Cooper, or Columbus-area District Attorney Gray Conger.
