Emma Darnell will remain the Fulton County Commission’s vice chairwoman for another year. The board unanimously reelected her to the position earlier this month. At the first meeting of each year, the commission chooses a vice chair to serve a one-year term.

Darnell represents district 5, which includes the west side of Atlanta and part of unincorporated south Fulton. She will preside over meetings when Chairman John Eaves is absent.
