Milton's primary: what your city voted Tuesday

Tuesday's general primary produced winners, runoffs, and a November race worth tracking. Here's the short version for Milton readers.

GA House District 47 — Milton's own race. Jack Miller won the Republican primary outright with 50.7%, clearing the 50% threshold and avoiding a runoff. Brian Cochran finished second at 35.6%, Phoebe Eckhardt third at 13.7%. Miller advances directly to November.

Governor (Republican runoff, June 16). Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and healthcare executive Rick Jackson both fell short of 50%, sending the race to a June 16 runoff. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Attorney General Chris Carr were eliminated. The runoff winner faces Keisha Lance Bottoms (D), who cleared 50% in the Democratic primary and advances to November.

U.S. Senate (Republican runoff, June 16). Rep. Mike Collins (~41%) and Derek Dooley (~30%) — a former University of Tennessee football coach endorsed by Gov. Kemp — both advance. Rep. Buddy Carter was eliminated. Democrat Jon Ossoff ran unopposed and has raised nearly $60 million this cycle.

Fulton County Commission Chairman (runoff, June 16). Mo Ivory (~40%) and incumbent Robert Pitts (~35%) are headed to a June 16 runoff. No candidate cleared 50%.

The June 16 runoff covers all four of these races. Runoff turnout tends to be a fraction of primary turnout — if any of these matter to you, that's the day to show up.
