Cherokee Tribune – Gordon takes BoC Post 4 seat

In a tight race that came down to the wire for the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners Post 4 seat, Woodstock Planning Commissioner Scott Gordon received 49 votes more than his opponent Larry Singleton to win the general primary runoff Tuesday, according to the unofficial results.

Gordon, 48, overcame Singleton’s touted experience as a former commissioner to win the seat by 50.63 percent, receiving 1,901 out of 3,755 total votes. Singleton received 1,854 votes, just over 49 percent. Gordon will replace present Commissioner Jason Nelms in January once he’s sworn in.
