MDJ: Ginny Ehrhart Is Odds On Favorite in State House 36 Race
SPEAKING OF EHRHART, what to make of the race for his seat now that the veteran lawmaker is retiring and his wife, conservative Republican Ginny Ehrhart is running in his place against progressive Democrat Jen Slipakoff?
Around Town rang Kerwin Swint, director of KSU’s School of Government and International Affairs, for some answers. As it happens, Swint lives in west Cobb and knows the area well.
“That particular district is just so Republican. It’s very conservative, it’s economically conservative definitely and still, even in 2018, still mostly social conservative. You have a hard time seeing how a Democrat could possibly be competitive there. So I start off from that standpoint that it’s just a really Republican-friendly district to start with. I think that’s the biggest factor,” Swint said.
So the odds on favorite, it would appear, is Ginny Ehrhart.
“I would agree,” Swint said.

My quotes in today's Marietta Daily Journal represent the concerns of many Cobb parents. Thank you for the support so many of you have extended. I am hopeful that this week, as the court addresses a new batch of school bus violators, there will be no repeat of last week's dismissal of charges. Hold them accountable. Our kids deserve nothing less.
