U.S. Senate candidate Jim Barksdale made a stop on the campaign trail in Lavonia on Saturday.

Barksdale stopped in Lavonia Saturday afternoon at Southern Oaks Inn for a meet and greet with the voters of Lavonia.

The Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Georgia said he was keeping busy on the campaign all over the state.

According to Barksdale, it is going great.

He added that they have been down as far south as Albany and over to Savannah, also taking time last weekend to visit Dawsonville and Gwinnett County.

Barksdale said the campaign is doing well and feels the polls are very close at this time, calling it a single digit race.

He is running against Johnny Isakson in the general election coming up in November.
