State Representative Allen Peake Pre-Files Bill for Non-Partisan County Elections

State Representative Allen Peake just dropped a House Bill that could potentially change elections for county officials. If it passes through the House and Senate, the bill will allow counties to petition their local legislative delegation to make county-wide elections non-partisan.

HB 682 is a response to the local leaders request.

“I don’t see how being the Solicitor of Bibb County is a partisan issue. That is, can he do his job? Can he enforce the law and prosecute cases that are brought to his office? That is not Republican or Democrat,” says D.A. Greg Winters, Bibb County.
