John Lunsford has officially withdrawn from the Clarkesville Post 2 City Council Race, Habersham County Elections Supervisor Laurel Ellison announced Wednesday.
Lunsford was in a three-person race for the seat vacated when Roxie Barron resigned.
Lunsford’s name will not appear on the ballot for the November 8, 2022, special election. Ellison did not give a reason for his decision to leave the race.
Rick Wood and Brad Coppedge are still in the running to fill the Post 2 seat. Whoever wins will fill Barron’s unexpired term through December 31, 2023.
