Yet Another Republican Plans to Run for Paul Broun's Seat in Congress
Dacula Rep. Paula Sheldon will run for Rep. Broun's open seat in 2014.
Dacula's state representative, Donna Sheldon, will run for Congress in Georgia's 10th District in 2014, seeking to replace U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, she announced on Tuesday.
Broun will be leaving his seat in the House of Representatives to run in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate.

Sheldon, who represents Dacula and parts of northeast Gwinnett County in the state's 104 District, chairs Georgia's House Majority Caucus.
Sheldon is not the only one interested in Broun's seat. Georgia Rep. Bruce Williamson (R-Monroe) said he is giving a run "prayerful consideration." State Sen. Bill Cowsert, however, has announced that he won't seek the seat.
