From AJC.com:
Former Cobb County Commission Chairman Sam Olens on Tuesday won a hard-fought runoff for the Republican nomination for state attorney general.
Olens defeated state Sen. Preston Smith of Rome by a wide margin thanks to landslide support in his home county and in Cherokee, DeKalb and Fulton counties. Smith called and conceded the race at about 9 p.m., Olens said.
“He was very gracious and said he wanted to help me defeat Ken Hodges,” Olens said. “I greatly appreciate his support and kind words.”
