Lisa Cupid, Craig Owens and Flynn Broady headlined Democratic wins in countywide races.
The gains Cobb Democrats made in the last two election cycles
reached a power-shifting culmination in 2020, as incumbent Republicans holding countywide seats were swept out of office.
The Cobb Board of Commissioners will become all-female, and with a black Democratic majority headed by two-term commissioner Lisa Cupid, who ousted chairman Mike Boyce.
Cupid will be the first chairwoman and first black head of county government in Cobb’s history, as well as the first Democrat to hold the office since Ernest Barrett in 1984.
