Last year’s Republican-led reapportionment shifted hundreds of thousands of people in and out of the 12th District, but the Democratic incumbent, U.S. Rep. John Barrow, says the district’s concerns remain the same. Barrow heard citizens’ questions and comments Monday morning at the Evans County Annex in Claxton, the first stop on his 2012 Rural Listening Tour. He is holding similar meetings this week in Tattnall, Toombs, Candler, Emanuel, Screven and Washington counties.
