www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Lilburn voters will have to choose a new mayor and councilman in a special election this year after Mayor Johnny Crist has turned in his resignation to run for a seat in the Georgia General Assembly, city officials announced Tuesday.

Crist confirmed he is running as a “conservative Republican” for the Georgia House of Representatives District 108 seat, prompting him to step down, effective later this spring. The seat is held by Rep. Jasmine Clark, D-Lilburn, who was one of several Democrats who flipped seats in Gwinnett’s legislative delegation in the 2018 elections.

The seat’s former occupant, former state Rep. Clay Cox, had previously announced plans to run for the seat again as a Republican, but backed out at Thanksgiving. Crist said people in the community began urging him to run after Cox announced his decision to back out of the race.


“I had just been re-elected (as mayor), and I was so focused on just leading the city for another four year and then when Clay decided not to run, I started getting calls,” Crist said. “There was enough affirmation that my wife and I began to take it seriously, and we said ‘We better pray through this and think about it and come to a decision,’ which took us awhile and said ‘Yes, we’ll do it.’
