Joe Lieberman's son running for Senate in Georgia
By Reid Wilson - 10/03/19 10:59 AM EDT
The first Democrat to announce his campaign for an open U.S. Senate seat in Georgia hopes to follow in the footsteps of a father who spent a quarter-century in the upper chamber.
Matt Lieberman, a small business owner in Cobb County, Ga., and the son of former Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), said Thursday he will run for the Senate seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Johnny Isakson (R).
“I am running because I am fed up with the do-nothing politicians who care more about getting re-elected than governing,†Lieberman said in a statement announcing his campaign. “The people of Georgia deserve representatives that will fight the NRA, stand up for reproductive rights, and support policies to ensure every American has access to quality, affordable health care.â€
It will be Lieberman's first run for political office. He moved to Atlanta five years after his father was Al Gore’s vice presidential running mate.
