Commission Seat, Two Judicial Races to Be Decided in Aug. 21 Runoff

Gwinnett voters will return to the polls tomorrow to decide three races. A runoff election to fill the Gwinnett County District 3 Commission seat and two Gwinnett County judgeships will occur Tuesday, Aug. 21. 

In the Gwinnett County District 3 race, incumbent . Beaudreau, who is seeking his third term, fell just short of the majority vote needed to win outright during the July 31 primary.

Tracey Mason Blasi and Kathy Schrader are vying for the Gwinnett Superior Court judgeship being vacated by retiring Judge K. Dawson Jackson. 

Blasi, a Lawrenceville attorney, is a former Duluth Municipal Court judge.

Schrader, a Duluth attorney and mediator, is a past president of the Gwinnett Bar Association. She serves as an associate Municipal Court judge for the cities of Duluth and Sugar Hill.

Emily Brantley and Pam Britt are seeking to replace Gwinnett State Court Judge Robert “Bob” Mock, who also is retiring.

Brantley, a Suwanee resident, is an attorney in private practice in Gwinnett County.

Britt, a Lawrenceville attorney, is past president of the Gwinnett Criminal Justice Bar.

Both of the judges races had been five-way races in the July 31 General Primary.
