Georgia U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson is Set to Resign from Office
With the upcoming 2020 elections, there are a number of key elections set to take place. For Georgia, these elections will be held for several seats in the State Senate. This is an all too important poll, as the Senate helps to decide what laws should be passed that will benefit the people of the state. For this election, one seat in the house was up for grabs. Now with a recent announcement from current seat holder Johnny Isakson, there will be two seats up for grabs during the 2020 elections.
Senator's Resignation
Senator Johnny Isakson has announced that he will be resigning from his seat by the end of the year. This will leave a vacant seat open, which will play an important role in the 2020 Georgia elections. His vacancy will lead to two seats in the senate being open in 2020. These two seats could prove to be pivotal for Democrats, as they try to take a majority representation in the Georgia Senate. As of now the Georgia State Senate is made up of 35 Republicans and 21 Democrats.
Future Importance
On a grand political scale, the possibility of having two more elected Democrats to the State Senate would greatly improve chances of more progressive laws being introduced and passed for the state. Historically, the Georgia Senate has been ruled by a Republican majority. In recent elections, more Democrats have been voted into the house. Although a seemingly small number, these two seats can help turn the tide of the majority’s power in the Senate, and would help influence future laws that would be passed for the state of Georgia.
