Rep. Greene had 72,096. Her closest competitor was Jennifer Strahan with 17,571.

With three Democrats on the ballot, it was Flowers with over 75 percent of the vote. He had 20,039 votes.

Mr. Moore, who had lost to former Senator Mullis in the last election, won 14,631 to 13,804.

Mr. Moore was a state representative from Dade County from 2018 to 2020. Mr. Henry is a former Catoosa County Commissioner and mayor.

Mr. Henry won by almost 700 votes in his home Catoosa County. However, Mr. Moore took Chattooga, Dade, Floyd and Walker counties.

Senator Mullis held the seat for 22 years before deciding not to seek a new term.
