She defeated her rival, pediatric dentist Jaha Howard, also a Democrat, in a runoff election with 10,681 votes, or 64 percent to Jordan’s 6,017 votes, or 36 percent, unofficial results show.

District 6 includes portions of Cobb and Fulton Counties. In Cobb, Jordan got 2,066 votes, or 40.6 percent, but in Fulton, she got 8,615 votes, or 74.2 percent, according to unofficial results.

Howard got 3,021 votes, or 59.4 percent, in Cobb and 2,996 votes, or 25.8 percent, in Fulton.

Jordan said her campaign’s biggest strength was plain old hard work.
