MARIETTA, Ga. — Republicans in Georgia's conservative 6th district don't agree which of their party's 11 candidates should represent the area in Congress. They're united on one thing: it won't be the Democrat trying for a massive upset fueled by anti-Trump sentiment and millions of dollars from around the country."I don't care what party you're from," said Marty Aftewicz, a 66-year-old Republican voter from Marietta. "If the money's coming from outside the district, it's dirty."Democrats in the area, though, see the flood of donations as a sign they're not alone in opposing the president."It gives me some hope, even though Georgia is a heavily red state," said Barbara Oakley, a 65-year-old retired pharmacist.
