Newly-Elected Georgia Rep Steps Down After Drug Arrest
-
WINDER, Ga. (AP) — A Republican arrested after winning his race for a seat in the Georgia House has decided to step aside instead of facing a possible suspension as soon as he was sworn into office later this month,
The decision by Danny Rampey means a special election will be held on Jan. 31 to choose the new representative for the House seat based around Winder, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Rampey, 67, was arrested last month after investigators said he stole prescription narcotics at the retirement complex he manages.

Do you mean like the Texas Dems who violated the national mask mandate and flew to DC?
There were other crimes attached to that stunt of theirs, as well.
