Sec'y of State Handel in Gubernatorial Run

Secretary of State Karen Handel says she’s running for governor.

The race to replace Governor Sonny Perdue in 2010 is shaping up to be a crowded Republican field. Lt. Governor Casey Cagle and State Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine have already announced their bids and built up their campaign funds.

The only Democrat in the race so far is David Poythress, a former commander of the National Guard. House Minority leader Dubose Porter says he’ll announce his intentions after the legislative session.
