Candidates encouraged to recycle campaign signs

A note from City Hall for candidates in Tuesday’s Athens elections, the winners and the losers: they’re encouraged to round up their campaign signs and turn them for recycling at the Athens-Clarke County recycling division.

The post-election formalities continue, with candidates collecting campaign signs from roadways and the Secretary of State’s office putting the finishing touches on vote counting, with certification of Tuesday’s results soon to come. A half-dozen Republicans and two Democrats are still on the campaign trail, aiming now for July 24 runoffs. Casey Cagle and Brian Kemp are seeking the Republican nomination for Governor; David Shafer and Geoff Duncan are Republicans running for Lieutenant Governor; Brad Raffensperger and David Bell Isle are candidates for Secretary of State. The only Democratic runoff pits Otha Thornton against Sid Chapman, two candidates who want to be state School Superintendent.
