It would be easy to think that the contest between Vernon Jones and Jim Martin for US Senate is the only one on the minds of voters this election season, but there are other run-offs around the state.
In the race for the statewide seats: for Senate, District 44, its Democrat against Democrat as incumbent Gail Davenport faces challenger Gail Buckner. Over on the House side, (District 50), Republicans face one another, its Jim Butterworth versus Nancy Schaefer. And, in District 61, Ralph Long, III against Keisha Waites, both Democrats. Finally, in District 93, Democrat Dee Dawkins-Haigler faces another Democrat, Malik Douglas.
