Shirley Fanning-Lasseter, former Duluth mayor, received 41.95 percent of the 6,465 votes cast, but it was not the majority needed to win.
At press time, it was still undetermined who her opponent would be in an Aug. 5 runoff, either jewelry store owner and current Gwinnett County representative on the MARTA board, Bruce LeVell (29.16 percent) or former Suwanee city councilmember Carol Hassell
Lasseter still has a little more campaigning to do in order to win the seat vacated by incumbent Lorraine Green.Whoever wins the runoff will gain the seat as they will run unopposed.
Bannister and Green will also be headed for a runoff. But unlike the other race, they will face opposition in November against Democrat Vincent Passariello, who ran unopposed in his primary on Tuesday.
NO Marta rail lines into the county.
