Noah Harbuck has won the Republican nomination for a Georgia State House representative seat in District 145, which covers a portion of Bibb County, according to the Associated Press.
The AP called the race in Harbuck’s favor at 10:44 p.m. Tuesday. Harbuck defeated Nancy Hicks and DeRon Rogers in the race. He will face off against the Democratic Party winner in November, a race that hadn’t been decided as of 12:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Harbuck graduated from Mary Persons High School in Forsyth in 2014 and currently works as an insurance agent.
Harbuck is involved with life groups with Rock Springs Church, including several sports activities and a men’s Bible Study.
Harbuck said he believes some of the most current pressing issues are illegal immigration and public safety.
He said during his campaign he plans to fight inflation by voting on policies to lower taxes and the price of goods like gas and groceries.
He also plans to work closely with Georgia’s public safety agencies to ensure the best training for first responders and law enforcement, and collaborate with parents to ensure their children receive the education they need to succeed.
“I am honored to have received the support of so many incredible individuals and families throughout our district,” Harbuck said in a statement posted to social media.
