I don’t mean to focus excessively on one district that I don’t live in, but I just noticed a third Democratic challenger for Jill Chamber’s state House seat in District 81 on the Secretary of State’s web site: Clyburn Halley.
It’s entirely possible this is old news and I missed it before, but I figured I should throw all the names out there.
This is in addition to Chris Huttman, who I blogged about the other day, and Cecillia Hailey, who Andre mentioned might have a few money issues.
Halley lists his profession as Law Enforcement/Educator, and appears to work in the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office. He ran for Clerk of Superior court in 2004, coming in dead last among a field of six candidates with two percent of the vote.
Anybody know anything else about these two candidates?
Update 1:19 p.m. It appears this was probably a mistake on the SoS web site. Halley is now (correctly?) listed as challenging Earnest “Coach” Williams for his seat in District 89. No Republicans had filed as of this writing.
Thanks to Bob for pointing out that the Lithonia address looked a little fishy in the comments.






I think the website lists Clyburn Halley in the wrong district - Lithonia is not in 81 and his email address says district 89.
Unless he accidentally qualified in the wrong district…
The website has been corrected. Halley is running against Coach Williams in 89.
As someone who did qualifying last time, it’s easy to check the wrong box or accidentally put in the wrong district. Glad to see it is now fixed.
Before you know it, the SOS will be implementing butterfly ballots!
