Democratic Party

Maria Palacios (Democratic Party) ran for election to the Georgia House of Representatives to represent District 29. She was disqualified from the Democratic primary on May 22, 2018.

On July 18, 2018, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Craig Schwall agreed with the Georgia secretary of state, ruling that Palacios did not meet the citizenship requirements to run for office. Palacios was born in Mexico and came to the United States when she was two months old. She became a citizen of the United States in 2017. Georgia law states that candidates of the state House must be Georgia citizens for at least two years at the time of their election. The ACLU appealed the case to the Georgia Supreme Court on July 20, 2018.[1][2] On August 14, 2018, the Georgia Supreme Court decided not to consider Palacios' appeal.[3]
