ATLANTA — Three Republicans are vying for the west Georgia House seat held by former House Speaker Glenn Richardson.
The Georgia Secretary of State's office says J. Cash, of Dallas; Ronny Sibley, of Hiram; and Daniel Stout, of Dallas have qualified to run.
A special election will be held on Feb. 23 in the portion of Paulding County he had represented.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Richardson stepped down Jan. 1 after a suicide attempt and allegations of an affair with a lobbyist. He'd been the first Republican House speaker in Georgia since Reconstruction.
