The Red & Black Staff Reports
It may not be over for
the Athens mayoral race.
In Athens, to win the
mayoral race, a candidate
must get 51 percent of the
vote. The mayoral race is
nonpartisan and has five
candidates, which led to a
runoff between candidates
Nancy Denson and Owen
O’Looney. The runoff will
take place on Nov. 30.
Around town on

five mayoral candidates

Broun downs Univ. grad for Congressional seat
By RYAN BLACK, AOINA SOLOMON
and KATIE VALENTINE
The Red & Black
ATLANTA Paul Broun’s plans for
the University are almost as big as
his margin of victory over Russell
Edwards in the 10th Congressional
District race Tuesday night.
With 87 percent of precincts
reporting, Broun received 67 percent
of the 10th District votes putting
him well ahead of former University
student and Democratic candidate
Russell Edwards.
Broun said his long-term goal is to
make Athens part of a hub of what
he called the “biomedical research
health care delivery corridor," which
includes Augusta and Atlanta, by
way of the surrounding major high
ways of 1-20, GA-316 and US-78. In

turn, he hopes this makes Georgia
the top health care delivery state in
the Southeast.
"Of course UGA is going to be an
integral part of that, tied in with the
facilities at Augusta, which is a dia
mond Just waiting to shine," he said.
“Then you look at Atlanta and see
the facilities there, too. So I see the
University of Georgia growing in
stature. ... We Just have a tremen
dous asset there. As world-class of a
university as it is now, I think it’s
going to continue to expand upon
that.”
Broun said this election was
important for the nation because he
thinks Americans are unhappy with
the leadership in Washington.
“American people are rejecting
the policies of Barack Obama, Nancy
Pelosi and Harry Reid,” he said.

Deal holds strong
lead for governor
By MARIANA HEREDIA, KATHRYN INGALL
and POLINA MARINOVA
The Red & Black
With 79 percent of precincts reporting at
press time, Georgia has anew governor —and it
seems like it will be Nathan Deal.
The Gainesville politician took 53 percent of
the votes.
His opponent, Democrat Roy Barnes received
43 percent, and Libertarian John Monds took 4
percent.
“I think we’ve had some very good people
working for us all across the state people that
have stepped up and have been willing to go out
and e-mail and call their Mends," Deal said.
Deal said he believes Republicans on the
state and national levels have an advantage
this election cycle.
"I think there is a mood all across this coun
try of saying that we realize that we need to
make sure the government is smaller and more
efficient,” he said. “And I think that does help
the Republicans because that is the position
most of us have taken.”

“They want to see something differ

Though Edwards may have lost,
his supporters still believe he fought
a good battle.
"It’s such a hard race, and I’m not
surprised.” said Julia Rutledge, a
supporter. "But it's disappointing.”
When asked before the results
were definitive if Edwards had a good
chance of winning, Gail Hoge —a
supporter of Edwards who made
calls for his campaign said she
hoped Edwards would win.
“We needed new leadership,” Hoge
said. “I was glad we had a really good
candidate this time around.”
