Terry Cummings has won the Democratic nomination in Georgia House District 39, defeating Monica DeLancy.
With 100% of precincts reporting, Cummings led in the primary runoff with 1,407 votes, or 57%, to DeLancy’s 1,071 votes, or 43%, according to unofficial election results.
Cummings will face Republican Olivia Angel in the November general election.
Cummings is an attorney and retired federal law enforcement officer. DeLancy is an educator and tenants rights activist.
In the first round of voting in May, DeLancy came first with 29% of the vote. Cummings finished a close second, with 27% of the vote.
The Mableton-based seat is currently represented by state Rep. Erica Thomas, D-Austell, who did not seek reelection. It is a heavily Democratic district — the Princeton Gerrymandering Project estimates Democrats will receive 79% of the vote there in November.
