Harold Jones II, Corey Johnson in runoff for Georgia Senate District 22 seat | The Augusta Chronicle

There were two favorites in the State Senate District 22 race Tuesday, but neither candidate pulled enough votes to win outright, sending Augusta Mayor Pro Tem Corey Johnson and attorney Harold Jones II to a July runoff.

With a 29.84 percent primary election turnout, Johnson, in his second term on the Augusta Commission, brought in 7,394 votes – or 45 percent. Jones, Augusta’s former solicitor general and now one of three attorneys representing Richmond County Sheriff’s Office, was second with 7,073 votes, 43 percent.
