Cobb has several competitive races this year, including county commission chair, sheriff and district attorney.
Cobb Chairman Mike Boyce will face several Republican challengers in the primary, including perennial candidate and retired businessman Larry Savage and former police officer Ricci Mason. The winner will go up against South Cobb Commissioner Lisa Cupid, the only Democrat to qualify.
The race to fill Cupid’s vacated seat has attracted no fewer than seven candidates. East Cobb Commissioner Bob Ott is also leaving the board, leaving four candidates to compete for his office.
The sheriff’s race is also shaping up to be the most competitive in years, with three challengers taking on incumbent Neil Warren, who is under investigation by the state ethics commission.
