Collegedale election ends in tie, runoff possible

COLLEGEDALE, Tenn. (WDEF) —  The Hamilton County Election Commission confirms a local race two weeks ago ended in a tie.

Collegedale voters were picking their city commission.

Laura Howse and Tim Johnson won outright.

But Debbie Baker and Billy Burnette tied for the final spot.

Each candidate got 2,282 votes.

Now the Collegedale Commission must decide whether they want to schedule a runoff election or decide it with a vote on their own.
