U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., has bumper stickers already printed with a new logo for his 2016 re-election bid, but is currently campaigning for shorter-term goals of having Republican candidate David Perdue join him in the U.S. Senate and for Republicans to gain a majority there. In town Monday, Isakson was interviewed at the Statesboro Herald office and then spoke to the Statesboro Rotary Club, among other stops. Regardless of whether Tuesday's general election or a possible runoff sends Perdue or Democrat Michelle Nunn to the Senate in January, Isakson, after 10 years in the Senate and soon to turn 70, will then be Georgia's senior senator.
