Former Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Tom Price has thrown his name in the ring to replace retiring GOP Sen. Johnny Isakson (Ga.), the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Thursday.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) will pick Isakson's successor, who will then face an election in November, 2020.
Kemp has launched a website where Republicans who want to be considered for the opening may submit their resumes, and more than 200 people have already done so.
Price, a former six-term congressman, joins other high-profile GOP hopefuls including Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) and Georgia Public Service Commissioner Tim Echols.
