Johns Creek elects new council members

Johns Creek voters gave Chris Coughlin a temporary victory in Tuesday's runoff election.

Coughlin beat challenger Todd Burkhalter to fill the unexpired term of former councilman Brad Raffensperger in the city’s Post 2. But Coughlin will only serve a few weeks.

For the full-term election — the job begins in January — Coughlin lost to Jay Lin.

Stephanie Endres was the victor to fill the unexpired Post 5 term of former councilwoman Kelly Stewart. She beat Nazeera Dawood. Endres will also serve through the end of the year.
