Norwood Ahead But Not Mayor
As expected, Councilwoman Mary Norwood is leading in Atlanta's mayoral contest. She has 47 percent of the vote, with 19 percent of precincts reporting.
She would need 50 percent plus one to avoid a Dec. 1 runoff. Right now, it's looks like her runoff opponent will be former state legislator Kasim Reed. He's at 36 percent.
Outgoing Mayor Shirley Franklin, who had refused to endorse a candidate, said yesterday that she'd be voting for Reed.
GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
