UGA alum running for state house in special election

The political landscape in Georgia is seeing a shift as a new contender emerges for the House District 121 seat. Eric Gisler has declared his candidacy for the upcoming special election in December, aiming to fill the vacancy left by Marcus Wiedower’s unexpected resignation.

Gisler aims to represent the district covering Oconee and Clarke counties. As a Democrat, his campaign will focus on enhancing healthcare access, improving educational quality, and making housing more affordable, mirroring his agenda for the 2026 election bid for the same seat.

The resignation of Republican Marcus Wiedower has prompted this special election. Gisler, a University of Georgia graduate and a small business owner, sees this as an opportunity to bring fresh perspectives to the district’s representation.
