Lester Miller will serve another four years as the Mayor of Macon-Bibb.

MACON, Ga. — Lester Miller wins Macon-Bibb County mayoral election with more than 97% of the vote in.

In a race between incumbent Macon-Bibb County Mayor Lester Miller and challenger Shekita Maxwell, the voters have decided: Mayor Miller has secured another four years as mayor of Macon-Bibb County, where he hopes to build on his successes from his first term

Miller has campaigned on economic growth, fighting blight and lowering property taxes

Here are the vote tallies 

  • Lester Miller: 86%, (15,755 VOTES)

  • Shekita Maxwell: 14% (2,512 VOTES)

Macon-Bibb County is a consolidated county, meaning that the mayor of the city is also the mayor of the county. The political dynamics this term are likely to be shaken up as a number of commission members were unable to run for another term, meaning new faces are entering the Macon-Bibb county commission chambers.
