Two Catoosa County Commission seats will be decided in Tuesday’s Republican primary runoff.
Commission Chair Larry Black, the incumbent, is up against Steven Henry, and incumbent Vanita Hullander, who represents District 3, faces Richard Tharp. District 3 includes a north-central party of Catoosa County that includes Graysville and much of Ringgold.
In the May 21 primary, no candidate in either race won more than 50% of the vote, triggering a runoff under Georgia law.
Black was the top vote-getter in the five-person chair primary race with 37%, while Henry followed with nearly 30%. Nick Ware received about 27%. Mickey Headrick collected nearly 4%, and Kay Helton Provonsha won about 2%.
In the District 3 race, Hullander received the most votes with nearly 48%, while Tharpe was second with just over 29%. Jimmy Gray won about 23%.
