State Rep. Steve Cash pulls out of House race

MCDONOUGH - Republican Rep. Steve Cash, chairman of the Henry County legislative delegation, has withdrawn from the District 60 House race, saying that redistricting by Democrats has ``effectively shut my voters out of the process.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Cash&#39;s new three-member district is dominated by heavily Democratic south DeKalb County. His withdrawal leaves only Democratic candidates in the 60th, which includes portions of predominantly Republican Henry County. <br> <br> ``The ability of the people of Henry County to elect candidates of their choice has been taken away,&#39;&#39; said Cash, 48, a homebuilder from Stockbridge. <br> <br> Cash said the Rockdale County and Henry County portions of the 60th should be its own district with one representative. <br> <br> The new District 60 included two other incumbents Reps. Henrietta Turnquest and Stan Watson, both Democrats of Decatur.
