Runoff coming for District 4 Fulton commission seat

By Jim Gaines
May 22, 2024

A three-way Democratic primary for the Fulton County commission seat now held by Natalie Hall will head to a June 18 runoff, according to unofficial vote totals.

With the elimination of third-place finisher Sonya Ofchus, Hall will face off against Moraima “Mo” Ivory. Hall and Ivory ended Tuesday night separated by less than 1% of the vote, meaning neither had the majority needed to avoid a runoff.
