Georgia Congressional Race Drawing National Attention

A Georgia congressional race drawing national attention – and dollars – is set to be decided Tuesday in a runoff.
In the Republican race for Georgia’s 3rd Congressional District, former West Point Mayor Drew Ferguson has received thousands of dollars from national business groups, including those representing car dealers and beer wholesalers, along with an endorsement from U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson.
Former State Sen. Mike Crane has gotten money from conservative groups like the Freedom Caucus. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has endorsed him.
Voters, though, probably know one thing about the contest – Crane’s comment that officers who serve no-knock warrants should be shot.
In an Atlanta Press Club debate that aired last Sunday, Crane didn’t say he regretted the statements.
“At what point does government have the right or anyone have the right to enter your home unannounced, and so that’s the whole debate. It wasn’t about how you react at that point,” said Crane.
Ferguson responded: “No matter the context of the conversation it is irresponsible and dangerous to say it’s okay to shoot police officers, law enforcement officers of any type, and encourage others to do it.”
The winner of the runoff in the very Republican district will face Democrat Angela Pendley in the November general election.
