A former state representative and a public relations specialist are heading to a special election runoff next month to fill a vacant DeKalb County-based House seat in the Georgia General Assembly, according to unofficial election results.

Stan Watson, who also served as a DeKalb County commissioner, and Angela Moore, a public relations specialist who finished in third place in a 2010 primary for secretary of state, received the most votes out of the six Democratic candidates in Tuesday’s special election.


The two are vying to fill the House District 90 seat left vacant when state Rep. Pam Stephenson, D-Lithonia, resigned and withdrew her candidacy in September. Since neither Watson nor Moore received a majority of the about 3,000 votes cast, a runoff election is required. It will be held March 9.
