The most hotly contested local race this year is the Democratic primary for Senate District 42, pitting local attorney Kyle Williams against former state representative Elena Parent. The two candidates have been on the attack in the days leading up to the election, each trying to establish their progressive bonafides for the liberal SD 42 electorate. The winner will most likely replace state Sen. Jason Carter, who is leaving that seat to run against incumbent Gov. Nathan Deal.

Candidates running for sheriff also have attracted interest due to the candidacy of former DeKalb County CEO Vernon Jones.  The incumbent is Democrat Jeff Mann and there are eight candidates in that race. Also, former City Schools of Decatur Board of Education member Valarie Wilson is running in the Democratic primary for state school superintendent.

Early voting ended on May 16. According to figures from DeKalb County, 10,696 registered voters decided to cast their ballot in advance of the May 20 primary.
