In a stunning upset, former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed did not garner enough votes from residents of Atlanta to advance to a runoff in the 2021 mayoral election. Atlanta Council President Felicia Moore and Councilman Andre Dickens will both face each other in a head-to-head political battle for the role of Atlanta mayor.
Both Moore and Dickens joined The Rashad Richey Morning Show.
According to Reuters:
Nov 2 (Reuters) - Atlanta mayoral candidate Felicia Moore, the city council president, has advanced to a runoff election on Nov. 30, where her opponent will be City Council member Andre Dickens, CBS46 TV projected.
In a campaign dominated by the issue of public safety, both Moore and Dickens had favored hiring more police officers to combat a rise in violent crime.
The ballot included 14 names. Under state law, the top two candidates proceed to a runoff election on Nov. 30 unless a candidate exceeds 50% in the general election.
The winner will succeed outgoing Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, who in a surprise move decided not to seek another term.
