McDONOUGH — When Henry County resident Kelly Rose decided to seek election to the District 17 seat in the Georgia Senate, she knew she had a mostly-uphill race to run.
Rose, who works in the television production industry and with her husband Steve Alderfer owns and operates Studio 48, an acting studio on McDonough’s downtown Square, will oppose incumbent State Sen. Brian Strickland in the Nov. 3 General Election.
