| RUNOFF ELECTION FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICT 68 BETWEEN BAKER AND JACKSON ON JUNE 13th |
The special election for State Representative 68, which was held on Tuesday, May 16, is headed for a runoff on June 13th. With less than 5% of voters turning out, former City Councilman Mark Barker and former State Representative Derrick Jackson will face off on June 13th.
The District 68 runoff election is to fill the vacant seat due to the untimely death of State Representative Letitia "Tish" Naghise, who left us very suddenly in March. Rep. Naghise, a Fayetteville Democrat, won the 2022 Democratic primary and easily won in the general election last November.

City of South Fulton
The 2016 Georgia General Assembly passed bill HB514 to incorporate South Fulton. Governor Nathan Deal signed the bill into law on April 29, 2016. On November 8th, 59 percent of the citizens of what would become South Fulton voted to charter the city. This referendum was part of a "cityhood movement" in the Atlanta metropolitan area that began in 2005 with the incorporation of Sandy Springs on the north side of Atlanta. Several other communities in Fulton voted to incorporate in 2007.
