Yes, there are only a handful of runoff races on the ballot today. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t important. In fact, given that few people likely will vote, it makes each vote even more likely to decide one of the races.
In Whitfield County, incumbent Melica Kendrick faces Susan Miller in the runoff for the Republican nomination for clerk of Superior Court. No Democrat qualified. And incumbent Kaye Cope faces Jerry Leonard in a nonpartisan runoff for a seat in Magistrate Court.
In Murray County, Gary Langford and Wyle Keith Pritchett meet in the runoff for the Republican nomination for sheriff. The winner will face incumbent Democrat Howard Ensley in the November general election. And Eric Hooker and John Waters face each other in a runoff for the nonpartisan part-time Magistrate Court Post 2.
Each of these positions can have a big impact on local residents, and it only takes a few minutes of your time to vote.
So if you didn’t take advantage of early voting, please go to the polls today.
