Dacula State Rep. Donna Sheldon to Run for Congress
Sheldon announced her plans to run for Rep. Paul Broun's open seat in 2014.

Dacula's state representative, Donna Sheldon, will run for Congress in Georgia's 10th District in 2014, seeking to replace U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, she announced on Tuesday.
Broun will be leaving his seat in the House of Representatives to run in the Republican primary for Saxby Chambliss' spot in the U.S. Senate.
Sheldon, who represents Dacula and parts of northeast Gwinnett County in the state's 104th District, chairs Georgia's House Majority Caucus.
