Fourth Candidate Qualifies for State House 104 Race

Election to fill the seat vacated by Donna Sheldon will be held on Nov. 5.

A fourth candidate has entered the race for State House District 104.

In a press release announcing his candidacy, Todd Tyson, a local business owner, said he will "fight for the conservative principles of smaller government, less spending and lower taxes."

Tyson is the founder of Hi-Tech Healthcare, a privately-held home medical company with seven locations and more than 100 employees. He also serves as president for the Georgia Association of Medical Equipment Services (GAMES), Homecare Committee Chair for the Georgia Society for Respiratory Care, a member of the Medicare/CGS Jurisdiction C Advisory Council, and is a faculty member of the Atlanta School of Sleep Medicine.


“After much discussion with my family and friends and a lot of prayer, I am excited about the opportunity to serve our community in the Georgia House of Representatives,” Tyson said in a released statement.  “I am truly honored by the overwhelming support my candidacy has received in such a short period of time.  I look forward to campaigning throughout the District, speaking with voters about how we can grow our economy and bring jobs by cutting taxes, balancing the budget and reining-in burdensome regulations that suffocate our economy.”  

Tyson joins Chuck Efstration, Tim Puckett and Teresa Cantrell as candidates for the seat vacated by long-time Dacula representative Donna Sheldon. Sheldon resigned the state house seat in August to pursue her congressional bid.

The special election will be held Nov. 5.
