Chattanooga City and Hamilton County Election Winners

[UPDATE: There is information on primary election winners in Hamilton County who still face a general election opponent here.]

Quite a few seats in Hamilton County were de facto filled today, due to the lack of opposition or to a single-party race. At this hour, the results are staggering: nine out of ten people didn't make time to choose.

That should mean they can't say anything about the government for the upcoming term's duration. But, we'll give 'em the benefit of the doubt, and hope that they'll come around to viewing this as important before too long. Plus, this was primary day, and I'm hoping that a whole host of folks have jumped either of the two sinking ships and are swimming toward the big purple raft.

These citations are as of the unofficial results on Tuesday evening. Congratulations are in order for:
