2017
A special election for District 32 of the Georgia State Senate was called for April 18, 2017. The filing deadline for candidates was February 24, 2017. No candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote in the April 18 election, so there was a runoff election on May 16, 2017.[2]
The District 32 seat became vacant following Republican Judson Hill's decision to run in a special election for Georgia's 6th Congressional District. As of April 2017, the Georgia Constitution required that elected officials vacate their positions upon qualifying to run in an election for another position. The 6th Congressional District seat became vacant following Republican Tom Price's confirmation as U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services.[3][4]
Five Republicans filed for the District 32 seat: Hamilton Beck, Matt Campbell, Roy Daniels, Kay Kirkpatrick, and Gus Makris. Three Democrats filed for the seat: Christine Triebsch, Exton Howard, and Bob Wiskind.[5]
Triebsch (D) and Kirkpatrick (R) advanced to the runoff election. Triebsch won the plurality of the vote on April 18, receiving 24.2 percent. Kirkpatrick received 21.1 percent of the vote. The five Republican candidates received 60.2 percent of the vote while the three Democratic candidates received 39.8 percent.
The April 18 election for District 32 took place on the same day as the 6th Congressional District special election. Both races advanced to runoff elections, which were scheduled on separate dates. The runoff election for the District 32 seat was on May 16 while the runoff election for the 6th Congressional District was on June 20.
Kirkpatrick won the runoff election on May 16.[6]
