Makenzie McDaniel defeated Josh Hinton in the Aug. 11 nonpartisan runoff election for the District 2 seat on the Henry County Board of Education. Hinton, the current board chair, was seeking a third term.
According to unofficial results posted by the county’s elections office with all precincts reporting, McDaniel garnered 2,539 votes to Hinton’s 1,803. In the countywide Democratic runoff for sheriff, Reginald Scandrett amassed 9,530 votes to win over Tony Brown, who tallied 2,894.
