Democrat Eric Gisler pulled out a squeaker Tuesday night, defeating Republican Mack “Dutch” Guest by 197 votes in the House District 121 Special Election to replace Republican Marcus Wiedower, who stepped down on Oct. 28.
Gisler won by increasing his vote percentage in Oconee County from the 26.0 percent of the vote he received in the county in his 2024 challenge of Wiedower to 35.5 percent against Guest on Tuesday night.
