BRACK: Could political history in Gwinnett repeat in a different way in 2020?
By Elliott Brack | Is the Gwinnett political year shaping up similar to what happened in 1984? Could history repeat itself….in a slightly different way?
Those of you not living here then may not realize how pivotal 1984 was for political parties in Gwinnett. Up until that time, there were a few Republican office holders in Gwinnett. Louise Radloff was the first, having been elected as a Republican in 1973.
