Five people filed applications before Wednesday's deadline for the job of Piedmont Judicial Circuit District Attorney. The office serves the counties of Jackson, Barrow, and Banks in northeast Georgia.
Tim Madison resigned from the post last month as the state investigation into allegations of misuse of office funds continues. Since then, an assistant Barrow County prosecutor, Allison Maudlin, has been filling-in.
The five hopefuls include three prosecutors and two private attorneys. The selected person will serve through next year, after which the job is on the ballot. Governor Sonny Perdue is expected to make a decision next month.
