JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – While most eyes were on the mayor’s race Tuesday — which was clenched by Democrat Donna Deegan — seven City Council seats and the race for property appraiser were also in runoffs after the first election in March.
A 33% voter turnout was reported — less than what elections officials had hoped.
Here are the results:
Democrat Joyce Morgan beat out Republican Jason Fischer Tuesday and is now the property appraiser for Duval County.
The race was close between the two. Morgan is finishing her time on City Council and is a former TV news anchor.
