The DeKalb County Board of Commissioners will host an meeting 10 a.m. Friday to introduce District 1 Commissioner-elect Nancy Jester to the public.
A Republican, Jester defeated independent Holmes Pyles in a runoff election Tuesday.
Jester replaces Elaine Boyer, who pleaded guilty to defrauding taxpayers of $93,000 and resigned in August.
She will represent more than 140,000 people in Brookhaven, Chamblee, Doraville, Dunwoody, Tucker and surrounding areas.
Jester ran on a platform promising to be a watchdog over taxpayer money and give the public online access to government financial records.
The runoff election was needed because none of the five candidates in the Nov. 4 election received more than 50 percent of the vote.
