KENNESAW City Elections 2019
The only contested race in the 2019 Kennesaw municipal election is that for Post 1 on the City Council.
These off year Muni elections usually do not get many people out to vote. There are about 19,000 registered voters within the City limits of Kennesaw and while they do turn out in decent numbers for elections for President, Senate, House, they do not pay much attention to City races.
If you go back 4 years to find out how many voted you will come up with 1,913 in that 2015 election.
That turnout was probably boosted a bit as Derek Easterling was opposed by controversial ex-Councilman Debbie Williams, she lost 884 to Easterling's 1,071 (there were 8 write in votes also).

Going to the contested Post 1 race we find that 1,833 voted and the current incumbent Jim (Doc) Eaton got 1,029 to Steve Creason's 791 (13 write in votes).
In 2019 we do not have any real interesting races. 2 incumbents were not challenged (1 mayor, 1 councilman).

So the only real contest is Post 1 where 2 minority challengers go up against the incumbent Eaton.
It seems unlikely that we will get more than 1,600 voters out of 19,000 this time around.
Below are listed the sites of the 3 candidates. Click on a link to see what they have to say for the Post 1 race.
