    Howard Hollis "Bo" Callaway
     

    Bo Callaway has the distinction of being the first Republican congressman from Georgia since 1875. He also attempted to become the first Republican governor since 1872. Although Callaway received the most popular votes for governor in the 1966 general election, the presence of a write-in candidate prevented him from receiving the constitutionally required majority. The election was thrown to the left-leaning legislature, which chose the Democratic candidate, Lester Maddox. Read more. . .
