For Johns Creek, there is competition at every post up for election.
Incumbent mayor Mike Bodker, who has been the city’s mayor since 2006, will face a challenger in Alex Marchetti, a businessman who has lived in the city for more than two decades.
For Post 3 on the city council, Cori Davenport is not seeking re-election, so the race is wide-open between residents Vicki Horton, Richard Holladay, John Bradberry and Mark Venco.
