A crowd gathered at the Community House in Cornelia Tuesday night to hear from the six candidates vying for the Republican nomination in three area runoff elections.
Candidates for 9th District Congress, District 50 State Senate, and House District 10 participated in the event sponsored by the Habersham County Republican Party.
