I have a Democratic city council representative, but all of my state & federal representatives were Republicans for years and years. The GA GOP has had total state control.

Total wing nut, Paul Broun, Jr. was my congressman and now Fundy nut job, Jody Hice is my congressman.

I remember when John Barrow, who I knew here in Athens and who was on the city council, was my Democratic Congressman and when Max Cleland was my Democratic Senator.
