JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – While most eyes were on the mayor’s race Tuesday — which was clenched by Democrat Donna Deegan — seven City Council seats and the race for property appraiser were also in runoffs after the first election in March.
A 33% voter turnout was reported — less than what elections officials had hoped.
Here are the results:
Democrat Joyce Morgan beat out Republican Jason Fischer Tuesday and is now the property appraiser for Duval County.
The race was close between the two. Morgan is finishing her time on City Council and is a former TV news anchor.
The seven City Council seats decided Tuesday make up more than a third of the 19 seats on the council. Three members ran unopposed in March, and nine of the races were decided during the first election. (See the results)
Republican Chris Miller, 60, clinched the Group 5 at-large seat beating out 35-year-old Democrat Charles Garrison. Both were running for office for the first time.
