ATLANTA — Bob Johnson used nearly every question put to him in a televised debate taped Sunday to attack opponent Buddy Carter.
The two are locked in a runoff for the Republican nomination in the First District congressional seat left open by Jack Kingston’s run for the Senate. The winner will face whoever comes out on top when the votes are counted July 22 in the Democrats’ runoff between Amy Tavio and Brian Reese. They were also scheduled to debate, but Reese had a prior conflict and didn’t attend, leaving the entire TV screen to Tavio.
The debates were organized by the Atlanta Press Club and will be aired at 7 p.m. Wednesday statewide on Georgia Public Broadcasting.
