Candidates for House District 113th Race Differ on Issues and in Style

It seems almost certain that only a small percentage of the 35,750 eligible voters will cast ballots in the July 19 runoff election for the open seat in Georgia House District 113.

Of those who do vote, most are likely to use party to help them pick between the two candidates.

But at least some number of voters will not use party labels to decide between Republican Chuck Williams and Democrat Dan Matthews and will rely instead on what the candidates have said and done during the campaign.

These voters will have much to ponder.

In the three campaign forums and in interviews the two candidates have given during the campaign, neither has followed traditional ideological lines.

They have agreed on many issues and differed on others.

And the two candidates have shown they are different in style and background.
