DOERUN, Ga. — A single candidate has qualified for an open city council seat in Doerun.

Mike Blair will be sworn in at the next council meeting, a city spokeswoman said. He was the only person who sought to replace Councilman Michael Campbell.

Campbell resigned last month to run for the mayor’s post that was vacated upon the death of Mayor George Saunders in June.

Campbell, who had served on Doerun’s council more than 20 years, is running against Larry Brady.

The city election will take place Nov. 7, but it will be separate from the county vote on the Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax that will be held the same day.
