Johns Creek voters will pick three City Council members in today’s runoff election, though two of them will serve only a few weeks.

In Post 2, Todd Burkhalter and Chris Coughlin are vying to fill the unexpired term of former Councilman Brad Raffensperger. In Post 5, Nazeera Dawood and Stephanie Endres are competing to fill the unexpired term of former Councilwoman Kelly Stewart. The winners of both races will serve through the end of the year.

In a separate election, Coughlin faces Jay Lin in a race to determine who will serve a full term in Post 2, which would begin in January.
