Jimmy Long, retired, of Aragon, said he was excited to cast his ballot for Republican Gov. Brian Kemp because of his record on guns and the economy.

“One of the main things is he finally did the gun carry law, and I was really for that,” he said. “And he didn’t shut down in Georgia when the pandemic hit. Things closed, but he got them back before anybody else did.”

But Pamela Carter, a former teacher from Euharlee, said she voted for Democrat Stacey Abrams, also because of Kemp’s record.
