Latest News
Rob Adkerson is in the news because he is running in Georgia’s open 11th Congressional District race. Recent coverage says he is one of the Republicans competing for the nomination, alongside John Cowan and Tricia Pridemore, and the race could still be decided in a runoff if no one wins a majority. The latest reports focus more on the broader Georgia primary and runoff landscape than on any new Adkerson-specific development.
