From macon.com:
Political newcomer Carol Porter of Dublin celebrated her win in the Democratic primary for lieutenant governor Tuesday night, even as her politically-seasoned husband, DuBose Porter, lost the gubernatorial nomination.
For most of the evening Carol Porter led her opponent, Tricia Carpenter McCracken of Augusta, with about 70 percent of the vote. In Bibb County, Porter garnered 6,232 votes to McCracken’s 2,275.
But the road ahead will likely be steeper. McCracken did not mount a campaign, while Porter’s opponent in November is well-funded incumbent Republican Casey Cagle. As of the June 30 campaign disclosure report, Cagle had raised a total of $1.2 million to Porter’s $186,500.
