A former chair of the Fulton County Commission is running for Congress, but not in the county where he was last elected.

Instead, Democrat John Eaves wants to represent Georgia’s 7th U.S. House District, which includes parts of Gwinnett and Forsyth Counties.

Eaves, who lost his 2017 bid for Atlanta mayor, moved to Gwinnett in January.
