AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) – After the polls were closed and the votes tallied, Lonnie Wimberly won against Tanya Barnhill Turnley in the District 4 Commission Seat race – 2,210 to 1,369 votes.

"I'm a servant, that background of my involvement, my current involvement to the community," Wimberly said at a watch party on Tuesday, Nov. 4. "Also it's proof that I'm a servant and I'll serve them well. So I think that played a big role in me getting elected. "

Voters will have the opportunity to vote again in May 2026, as the seat is up again next year.
