Derek Norton was elected Mayor of Smyrna in a tightly contested runoff Dec. 3 against Ryan Campbell.
In unofficial results Norton won 3,764 votes or 51 percent to Campbell’s 3,605 or 49 percent.
In the Ward 2 Council Race, newcomer Austin Wagner defeated Andrea Bluestein 391 to 264 votes, or a margin of 57 percent to 42 percent.
Norton’s victory party was at a Smyrna Market Village restaurant just a block from the city’s Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
He greeted the crowd about 8:30 saying, “I’ve got news. We Won.”
He thanked his supporters saying, “It was a huge effort by all of you. Thank you so much.”
He also thanked outgoing Mayor Max Bacon for his endorsement and Steve Raisin, the candidate who placed third and later endorsed Norton.

It was a courageous move on his part and was very helpful,” Norton said. “A lot of his supporters have reached out to me.”

Norton, 42, now serves as Ward 1 Councilman and Mayor Pro Tem and works as Government Affairs Director for the Medical Association of Georgia. Campbell, 26, is the son of Jamaican immigrants who operate Chris’ Caribbean Bistro.
Campbell posted a concession on Facebook and offered his support, saying, “Congratulations to Derek Norton for Mayor, it’s been an honor to run this race. From me, my team, and our supporters we will rally around you. One Smyrna, Together!”
