BRACK: Athens professor has forward thinking ideas in Senate race

Incumbent David Perdue is running for another six year term, opposed by Democrat John Ossoff. In a distinctive second U.S. Senate race this year, there will be 21 people battling in a “jungle election” to see who will fill the remaining two years  of Sen. Johnny Isakson’s term. That means that the winner will probably immediately be running for a full six year term in 2022.
