Tonya Anderson retains State Senate seat over Sharon Henderson

Newton County’s Sharon Henderson was unable to unseat five-time incumbent Tonya Anderson in the State Senate, District 43 Democratic primary on Tuesday. Henderson qualified for the seat in March after foregoing a reelection bid in her current District 113 Georgia House of Representatives seat. But she faced an uphill battle due to Anderson’s status as a five-time incumbent as well as her current suspension from the General Assembly due to her role in a federal indictment.
