Greg HoganCHATSWORTH, Ga. – Almost three years ago, Greg Hogan lost the Murray County sole commissioner seat to his rival, David Ridley, by a little more than 200 votes.
On Tuesday evening, Hogan took it back.
He won the seat by a slightly wider margin of more than 400 votes, besting his cousin Bruce Reed in a specially called election.
Ridley resigned in March after a county employee filed a sexual harassment claim against him.
Hogan wiped away sweat and sighed with relief after the numbers were read at the county election office.
