missing Congressional House Representatives & Commissioners
Adelle,
You're missing information on county commissioner offices. You're also missing information on Georgia's Representatives to the U.S. Congress.
See District-specific blog posting
Dear Visitor:
Thanks for noticing! However, since everyone in DeKalb County does not vote for the same representatives and commissioners, I've included these offices in my post on District-specific offices.
