Former Republican gubernatorial candidate Charles Lollar has again resurfaced as a candidate for office in Georgia
This time, Lollar is running for the Douglasville, GA City Council.
Amusingly, Lollar’s residency has been a point of controversy in the race as Lollar’s Douglasville residency was challenged. It is reminiscent of Lollar’s disqualification from his planned 2010 run for Governor of Maryland when it was determined he did not meet the residency requirements, which Lollar blamed not on himself but on the Board of Elections.
Lollar first ran for office in a 2002 for Cobb County, GA Council and 2004 in run for a local school board.
I have extensively covered Lollar’s disastrous political career in Maryland. Lollar made history in 2014 as the first candidate to ever lose two separate races in one year, finishing a distant 3rd in the race for Governor in the primary, and finishing a distant 2nd as a Republican nominee for Charles County Commissioner.
In 2020, Lollar reinvented himself as an independent social justice candidate for Congress last year. Lollar failed to qualify for the ballot
Lollar abandoned his residence in Maryland shortly after losing both elections in 2015, according to one of Lollar’s two linked in profiles.
Lollar, oddly, has still a second linked in profile from his time as the Republican nominee for Congress in Maryland’s 5th District.
Lollar’s run for City Council marks Lollar’s eighth run for office since 2002. So far, Lollar has a record of 0-7. I guess some people just can’t get take the hint.
