DEL.ICIO.USGoreham scores easy victory
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In the Cobb County Commission District 1 race, incumbent Helen Goreham won the primary without the need for a runoff. With 57 of 58 precincts in, she had 53.3 percent of the vote.
Of her two closest challengers, former restaurant owner Johnny Woodward won 15.9 percent of the vote and former Powder Springs mayor Brad Hulsey took 14.2 percent
“I’m feeling positive and upbeat. As long as we’ve got more than 50 percent, it’s fanstastic,” Goreham said earlier in the evening as she gathered with supporters at a downtown Marietta restaurant to await returns.
Far back in the pack were former county finance department worker John Osborne, builder Scott Richards and retired police officer Charles Spann.
Goreham, a retired physical therapist, was first elected in 2002 on a platform of keeping residential growth in check.
