State Rep. Vernon Jones (D-Lithonia) is leaning toward filing to run for secretary of state.
Jones, a lifelong Democrat, is a Trump supporter.
“A lot of people have been urging me to run for Georgia’s Secretary of State. The people of Georgia deserve to have faith in the integrity of our elections again. It might just be time to help #DrainTheSwamp right here at home,” Jones said on Twitter.
Current Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has been a controversial figure in the post-election fracas over election integrity.
President Donald Trump called Raffensperger a ‘RINO’ for not adopting better signature verification procedures prior to the Jan. 5 runoff.
Jones told Fox News over the weekend that the two U.S. Senate seats that will decide the election are the difference between the rush into “communism.”
