Savannah Mayor Van Johnson at a campaign rally for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Raphael Warnock, Savannah, Ga., Oct. 4, 2022.
Georgia voters headed to the polls yesterday, largely re-elected incumbent mayors and approving special sales tax questions.
The Secretary of State's office says yesterday's municipal elections went smoothly thanks to a new voter registration system.
In Savannah, Mayor Van Johnson cruised to a second term, easily defeating an election challenge from a fellow council member.
