No Upsets in Local City Council Races, At Large Incumbents Willis and Watson Fall
Early Results show a steady turnout and changes within the at-large city council races.
Keisha Bottoms, Cleta Winslow, Joyce Sheperd, Ivory Young and C.T. Martin and their supporters are celebrating Tuesday night, as they all won their races to return to the Atlanta City Council.
Other than C. T. Martin and Joyce Sheperd who both ran unopposed, all had competitors that ended up not having the power at the polls to uproot the incumbent.
The surprises, or changes upcoming due to the election seems to be that P2 and P3 At-Large incumbents Aaron Watson and Lamar Willis both lost their at-large seats on the council. Watson was beat out by Mary Norwood, who held the seat previously before a run for Atlanta Mayor. Willis was beaten by Andre Dickens.
Mayor Kasim Reed was also elected for another term.
