The AJC reports that DeKalb County’s State Senator, David Adelman, has chosen the Old DeKalb County Courthouse in Decatur for his swearing in as the U.S. Ambassador to Singapore

Adelman was confirmed by the U.S. Senate late last week after being nominated by President Obama.  The ambassador plans to be settling into his new Singapore embassy home in the next few weeks.

Area residents looking to fill Adelman’s vacant State Senate seat are already lining up.  Yard signs for Decatur resident Tom Stubbs and Candler Park resident Jason Carter are already popping up along residential streets in the area.  Libertarian David Montane also recently launched a campaign for the seat.
