Hendrix Files To Run As Independent In November for Georgia House District 119, Representing Oconee And Clarke Counties

Pamela Lohr Hendrix, Watkinsville attorney, filed yesterday to run as an independent in November for the 119th District of the Georgia House of Representatives.

Incumbent Chuck Williams filed on Monday to run for reelection in the May 24 Republican primary. He has no challengers, and no one filed to run for that office as a Democrat.

Williams and Hendrix will compete on the November ballot.

Hendrix will be required to obtain 1,700 signatures from residents of the 119th House District, which includes all of Oconee County except three northeastern precincts and eastern Clarke County.

The deadline for filing those signatures, which represent 5 percent of the registered voters, is noon on July 12.
