Johns Creek has a new councilman.
In Tuesday's runoff election, John Bradberry came out on top in the race for the Post 3 seat, defeating Vicki Horton.
Bradberry will be the lone newcomer to the council after taking 58 percent of the vote on Tuesday. Two other council seats and the mayoral seat were decided in November for Johns Creek, and all incumbents were re-elected then.
