Melvin Everson to challenge Michael Thurmond for state labor commissioner

State Rep. Melvin Emerson will run for Labor Commissioner according to Jim Galloway of the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Emerson, who is one of two Black Republicans in the Statehouse was elected in 2005. Michael Thurmond hasn't made up his mind on whether or not he will run for Lt. Gov, Gov, of Stay at home at Laboe Commissioner.

It would not surprise me if Barnes decline the Gov's race, Thurmond runs for Governor instead. Not one bit.

One more tidbit: Former Barnes Press Secretary Gary Horlacher will run for Secretary of State as a democrat.
