May 2020

June 9 will be a regular primary to challenge Sonny Perdue. As far as I know, he has no republican challengers. Democrats running include Sarah Riggs Amigo, Maya Dillard-Smith, Jon Ossoff, and Teresa Tomlinson. If necessary there will be a runoff in Aug.

The battle for Johnny Iskson's seat(which was filled through the end of this term by Loeffler) will be Nov. 3. This is the jungle primary which will contain both republicans and Democrats on the same ballot and the top two finishers will face a run-off in Jan. Loeffler and Doug Collins are republicans and Dems include Rev. Raphael Warnock and Ed Tarver.

Your sister may be confusing the two elections because Loeffler is still running.
