Fowler Sworn In As Georgia Congressman Amid Black Vote Split
Atlanta City Council President Wyche Fowler Jr. was sworn in to succeed U N ambassador Andrew Young in Georgia's 5th District after defeating John R. Lewis in a runoff. The result follows a broad field from a 12-candidate general election, with black voters seeking a black successor in a diverse district. In Washington State, Seattle attorney Marvin Durning and Republican John Cunningham won nominations to fill the seat vacated by Brock Adams.
