Early Voting Starts Monday at the Alpharetta Library for a House Seat

Three Milton precincts are part of State House District 22, giving residents in that part of northwest Milton an opportunity to help pick their next Georgia representative.

The seat was left vacant after the death of State Rep. Calvin Hill of Hickory Flat. Hill died after a battle with leukemia.
