SaysWho? Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 https://www.ajc.com/blog/politics/breaking-georgia-isakson-resign-from-senate/enj87JHOCYzQmQu0Pj3cnK/ Quote A four-decade veteran of Georgia politics, Isakson has served in the U.S. Senate since 2005. He won his third term in 2016 by a comfortable margin and isn’t up for re-election until 2022. Isakson, 74, has suffered several falls since announcing he has Parkinson’s, which limits his balance and mobility. He recently spent six days in an inpatient rehabilitation program at Marietta’s WellStar Kennestone Hospital after being hospitalized in Washington on July 16. Three Georgia Democrats have already announced a challenge to U.S. Sen. David Perdue, a first-term Republican who is up for election in 2020. Isakson’s seat will likely draw several other Democrats, who see Georgia as increasingly competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marioandsonic Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Parkinson's is just awful. If I was diagnosed with that, I would just ask the doctor to end me right then and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
