JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – While most eyes were on the mayor’s race Tuesday — which was clenched by Democrat Donna Deegan — seven City Council seats and the race for property appraiser were also in runoffs after the first election in March.
A 33% voter turnout was reported — less than what elections officials had hoped.
Here are the results:
(STILL TOO CLOSE TO CALL) Democrat Joyce Morgan and Republican Jason Fischer are vying to be the next property appraiser for Duval County.
Morgan is finishing her time on City Council and is a former TV news anchor, and Fischer has served on the Duval County School Board, then in the Florida House.

The seven City Council seats decided Tuesday make up more than a third of the 19 seats on the council. Three members ran unopposed in March, and nine of the races were decided during the first election. (See the results)
60-year-old Republican Chris Miller clinched the Group 5 seat beating out 35-year-old Democrat Charles Garrison. Both were running for office for the first time.
