Former Crawford County Board of Education Chairman Judye Sellier says she will run to complete her late husband’s unexpired term in the Georgia House.
Rep. Tony Sellier died November 30 of congestive heart failure. He had won reelection to a full term on November 2nd.
“Tony’s service to the families of Middle Georgia was his calling, and he took that responsibility seriously,” Judye Sellier said. “I share Tony’s same solid commitment to those that elected him. I’m dedicated to continuing his hard work and providing leadership for our community.”
She says she consulted with her family, friends and her husband’s colleagues in the Republican Party before deciding to take up his life’s work.
“I am ready to help us tackle the issues of taxes, spending and education from the start of this session,” Sellier said. “I am asking for the support of voters to allow me to serve them. Our family has been overwhelmed with the kindnesses already shown to us; I am asking for that support to continue through this special election.”
Voters in District 136, which covers Crawford and parts of Bibb, Houston, Lamar, Monroe, Peach and Upson Counties, will return to the polls on Feb. 15 for the special election to fill Sellier’s seat.
