Georgia’s newest Congressman will be sworn into office tonight. Athens Republican Dr. Paul Broun is set to take an oath of office on the floor of the United States House of Representatives at 6PM. Broun narrowly beat former state Senator Jim Whitehead in last week’s runoff. Only 394 votes separated Broun from Whitehead, but yesterday Whitehead decided against a recount. Broun fills the seat that opened in February when Charlie Norwood passed away from cancer. He will represent northeast Georgia's 10th Congressional district.
