SAVANNAH, Ga. -- Attorney Maria Sheffield is the fourth Republican to say she’ll run in the redrawn congressional district represented by Savannah Democrat John Barrow.

“I stand as a true Reagan conservative,” Sheffield said Thursday in a prepared statement, “and will go to Congress as a conservative leader.”

The 37-year-old Mableton resident ran second last year in a nine-way race for the GOP nomination for state insurance commissioner.
