McKinney considers run for Green Party ticket

A one-time staple of DeKalb County politics might have a hard time winning her old seat in Congress.

The Atlanta Progressive News reported McKinney told the online publication she plans to run for the seat. McKinney didn’t return WABE’s request for an interview.

McKinney has long been a Democrat. Since 2008, she’s been a member of the Green Party. The co-chair of DeKalb’s Green Party says McKinney is considering a run but has yet to file paper work or hire staff.
