Bob Weatherford says he's "feeling good about winning the race, but is glad it's over." Weatherford says he's looking forward to the next four years, and speaks highly of his opponent Brett North.

"If I had lost, I'd still be happy for Brett," said Weatherford. "I don't think I'd be able to say the same thing about any other competitor, Brett is a great guy."

Brett North says he is disappointed about the results, but he will go to bed tonight with "nothing to be ashamed of" because of a race ran with "honor and integrity."

“The competition was strong and we knew it would be," said North. "I will take what I have learned here and use it in the future. We will come back and try again another time."

North says he has always respected Weatherford's work and service as a public servant.

“I personally thank him for his service to our city and his service to our nation in the armed forces," said North. "This was never about me running against Bob, it was about giving the voters of Acworth a choice."

The City of Acworth is one of the only two Cobb cities holding its municipal elections through the city, and not the county. City Manager Brian Bulthuis said this helps save money by having just one precinct and exempting from election fees charged by Cobb County Board of Elections.
