According to Fresh Loaf, Rep. Keith Heard is running for Insurance Commissioner ...

This time out, (Mary) Squires is much better positioned to make it through next June’s primary. For starters, she has only one declared opponent so far, state Rep. Keith Heard, D-Athens. And, unlike several of the Republicans going for the job, she’s an insurance industry veteran, serving as executive director of the Georgia Society of Professional Benefit Administrators, a trade and lobbying organization. (Heard, too, it should be noted, has worked in insurance.)

Heard has been rumored to be interested in the Insurance Commissioner's post, but there's been no concrete announcement yet. This campaign site lists him as a candidate as well, but there's been nothing locally to report of.
