Roofing company co-owner Trent Nesmith is running for Congress, carrying a warning against the influence of campaign money in American government and, among other things, hoping to vote to extend Medicare coverage to people of all ages. He is one of two Democrats, both from Statesboro – the other is Francys Johnson – who have filed Federal Election Commission campaign finance forms in the race for Georgia’s 12th District seat in the House. Candidates qualify at the state level March 5-9 for the May 22 primaries.
