Cobb County Special Election: Low Turnout, High Stakes in District 2 Race
Early voting is lagging in Cobb County’s special election primary for District 2 and District 4, with only 856 votes cast as of February 4, 2025. District 2’s Democratic primary features former state lawmaker Erick Allen, ex-school board member Jaha Howard, and newcomers Tracy Stevenson and Taniesha Whorton. Allen and Howard lead in fundraising but face criticism for developer ties, while Stevenson runs as a grassroots outsider. The Democratic winner will challenge Republican Alicia Adams on April 29.
