GA-HD150: Judge to decide Rep. Patty Stinson's (D) qualifications for District 150 re-election after residency challenge
ATLANTA — A state hearing in Atlanta on Monday examined whether Rep. Patty Marie Stinson legally resides at the address she used to qualify for re‑election in House District 150, a dispute that could affect the fall ballot.
The roughly hourlong proceeding at the Office of State Administrative Hearings closed the record without an on‑the‑spot ruling. Administrative Law Judge Kimberly Schroer said she would issue an expedited written decision, but no timeline was given.
The challenge was filed earlier this month by Michael Mixon, a Unadilla businessman and Food Network personality. Mixon alleges the qualifying address listed by Stinson — 133 Railroad Street in Butler — is the Jefferson Stinson Memorial Funeral Home, a commercial property, not the residence state law requires.
“The basis of the challenge is we want our representative to actually reside in an address that is residential in our district,” Mixon said.
