Chattooga County Republican Primary voters overwhelmingly supported U.S. Rep. Clay Fuller in Tuesday’s Primary Election.

Fuller received well over 80 percent of the local Republican vote in a crowded field of candidates. Former State Senator Colton Moore finished second with just over 9 percent. Fuller will face Democrat Shawn Harris in the November General Election.

In the State Senate race for the seat formerly held by Moore, State Senator Lanny Thomas was the strong favorite among Chattooga County Republican voters. Former Chattooga County Commissioner Blake Elsberry finished second, followed by Denise Burns in third.

Chattooga County Republicans also favored Mike Collins in the race to challenge U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff, while Burt Jones was the county’s Republican pick for governor.

On the Democratic ballot, Chattooga County voters heavily supported former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms in the race for governor.

In the State House District 12 race, Republican incumbent Eddie Lumsden and Democratic challenger Holly Chaney both faced no opposition in Tuesday’s Primary Election.
