A secretary of state candidate receives a critical endorsement. Secretary of State candidate Doug MacGinnitie got an endorsement from the Cobb County 912 Project Monday. The grassroots organization endorsed MacGinnitie based on him being an entrepreneur instead of a politician. He's one of three GOP candidates running for secretary of state, with the others being former state senator Brian Kemp and former Flowery Branch City Councilwoman Robin Carlisle. Gary Horlacher and Michael Mills are running to represent the Democrats in the November general election.

She joins an already crowded field in Democrats Beth Farokhi and Brian Westlake, as well as Republicans Richard Woods, Roger Hines, and current supertindent Kathy Cox, in the battle for that seat.
