Voters had quite a large choice with nine people having run for mayor and 71 people vying for the seven city council seats.

“It was hard. Plenty of YouTube videos, plenty of asking around, actually my dad helped me make the decision,” said voter Miata Johnson.

“I’m part of the email list and they’ve been listing all the candidates, what they’re running for and what they say they’re going to do and I read through them and I decided I wanted some fresh faces,” said voter Audrey Fisher.

Fulton County Elections showed William B. Edwards pulled in just over 42 percent of the vote. He will face Benny Crane in a runoff election next month. For full election results click here.
