Democratic DeKalb CEO Candidates On The Office’s Future

Denis O'Hayer's overview of the DeKalb County Democratic primary for CEO

Three weeks from today, on May 24, 2016, voters across the Atlanta area will decide Democratic and Republican nominees for a wide assortment of offices – including a U.S. Senate seat, all of the U.S. House seats, posts in the state legislature and many city and county positions.

Among the most closely watched local contests will be in DeKalb County, where major issues like police-community relations, transportation and the revival of economically struggling areas have been overshadowed by the county’s effort to emerge from a string of ethics scandals.
