The voters spoke Nov. 5. There just
weren’t as many of them talking as there
were in 2009.
According to figures from Fulton
County, 11.7 percent of Sandy Springs
voters showed up for the mayoral and
City Council election this year. In 2009,
turnout was 16 percent.
Sandy Springs city elections had sev
eral new names on the ballot.
Mayor Eva Galambos, City Coun
cilman Chip Collins and City Council-
woman Karen Meinzen McEnerny all
decided not to run again.
But even the lure of new candidates
wasn’t enough to produce a turnout at
least matching 2009 numbers for San
dy Springs.
District 2 City Councilwoman Di
anne Fries lost to challenger Ken Dish-
man. On election night Fries lamented
low turnout, but her race saw more vot
ers on Nov. 5 than it did in 2009, when
she ran unopposed for re-election. There
were 1,028 voters in District 2 on Nov.
5, and Dishman won with 641 votes. In
2009, Fries ran unopposed and received
631 votes out of 650.
On Nov. 5, there were five candi
dates running for Sandy Springs Dis
trict 6 seat and there were 1,718 votes
cast. Bauman received 690 votes and
Stoj received 500 votes. The largest voter
turnout occurred in the District 3 race,
which drew 2,427 voters to the polls.
Graham McDonald won the District 3
race with 1,846 votes, defeating oppo
nent Barbara Malone.
