Oconee County, GA Politics

Watkinsville City Council will remain the same with the resounding re-elections of City Council members Chuck Garrett and Connie Massey Tuesday evening at the new Oconee County Administration Building result room, appropriately named "The Watkinsville Room." Incumbent Massey was re-elected with 309 votes to three-time challenger Carolyn A. Maultsby's 121 votes, or more than a two-to-one margin. Incumbent Garrett was also re-elected by a slightly lower margin, garnered 298 votes or two-time challeger Rebecca Billings' 142 votes. Billings ran against Mayor Brian Brodrick two years ago in 2021, and this time she ran for the city council instead. Brodrick was unopposed, and apparently Watkinsville 16 voters attempted to write-in an unqualified candidate. He earned 351 votes.
