Catch up quick: Keisha Sean Waites resigned from the seat earlier this year to launch an unsuccessful bid for Fulton County clerk of superior court.

• Collins and Evans Jones were the top two vote-getters among the five candidates in the Nov. 5 election.
• Whoever wins the runoff will only complete the remainder of Waites' term, which expires next December, meaning they would have to run again in next year's municipal elections to remain in the seat longer.
