Ferguson scores victory in third congressional district run-off
Former West Point mayor and local dentist Drew Ferguson scored a convincing win over State Senator Mike Crane in yesterday’s Georgia’s third congressional district Republican primary run-off. GPhA had identified Ferguson as the most pharmacy-friendly candidate in the race.
“Last night was a great night for Drew Ferguson, for pharmacists and for Georgia,” said GPhA immediate past president Tommy Whitworth of LaGrange. “In Drew, we’ll have another member of our congressional delegation who understands the pressures on healthcare professions, and who’ll listen to our concerns.”
Republican Ferguson will face Grantville Democrat Angela Pendley in the November general election. The demographics of the west-central Georgia district have made it a stronghold for Republicans in recent congressional elections.
Here’s what the AJC had to say this morning about Ferguson’s victory.
