Elections
2017
A special election for the position of Georgia House of Representatives District 89 was called for November 7, 2017. Because no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote, a special runoff election between the top-two candidates was held on December 5, 2017. It featured Democrats Bee Nguyen and Sachin Varghese. Nguyen won the runoff election with 52 percent of the vote.[1]
The candidate filing deadline was September 15.[2] The candidates who successfully qualified and ran in the November 7 election were Democrats Bee Nguyen, David Abbott, Monique Keane, and Sachin Varghese.
The seat became vacant following Stacey Abrams' (D) resignation in August 2017 to focus on her run for governor.
