CLAYTON, Ga. — More than 200 people gathered Saturday for the annual 9th Congressional District “Blue BBQ,” a Democratic rally featuring several state and federal candidates.
Nick Alex, Democratic candidate for Georgia’s 9th District Congressional seat, was among the featured speakers. He was joined by former House Minority Leader Bob Trammell, who’s running for state attorney general; Clarence Blalock, candidate for state labor commissioner; and Peter Hubbard, candidate for the Public Service Commission.
The event served as both a community gathering and a campaign stop for candidates seeking to energize Democratic voters ahead of the 2026 election cycle. There was music, food, and a silent auction fundraiser.
Early voting for the PSC commission race in November begins on Tuesday, October 14.
