ATLANTA — Voters in southwest Georgia have a choice to make this election year: whether they are going to keep long-term Congressman Sanford Bishop in office or turn the seat over to a Republican newcomer.
The Democrat’s closing argument has focused on the decades he spent gaining the seniority, experience and bipartisan support that makes him best positioned to deliver for his constituents another two years.
“I have used the legislative process in Congress to bring billions of our tax dollars back home to middle and southwest Georgia to improve our schools, build roads, expand broadband, improve housing, boost our local economy, make health care more accessible, support law enforcement and strengthen our national defense,” Bishop said during a debate Tuesday night hosted by WTVM-TV.
