Brown and Yancy lead both District 3 races; Williams ahead by 61
Unofficial returns from the Nov. 3 Richmond County Board of Education election in Augusta put Kenyatta Brown and Carol J. Yancy first and second in both District 3 contests. Neither reached a majority, putting them on track for two separate runoffs if the order holds.
| Candidate | District 3 full-term | District 3 special election |
|---|---|---|
| Kenyatta Brown | 3,486 (39.2%) | 3,505 (39.3%) |
| Carol J. Yancy | 2,635 (29.6%) | 2,577 (28.9%) |
| Bartley Payne | 2,090 (23.5%) | 2,116 (23.7%) |
| Janice Ramirez | 689 (7.7%) | 719 (8.1%) |
The full-term race and special election are separate contests, not one combined race. Brown’s margin over Yancy was 851 votes in the full-term contest and 928 in the special election. The county’s 2026 voter guide lists Dec. 1, 2026, as the runoff date if needed.
In District 6, Charles “Chuckie” Williams led incumbent Ed Lowery 3,595 to 3,534, a 61-vote margin. Williams had 50.4% to Lowery’s 49.6%. The count remained unofficial as of Nov. 5, and no winner had been certified.
