first things that I plan to do is a forensic audit and when I find out where the money is then I'll be better able to answer those questions of how we are going to allocate it to fix the problems that we have,  Ivory said.

Tatum, who advanced to the general election as the Republican nominee, said voters will have a clear choice in November.

 With the field now set, I'm looking forward to taking my message to the General Election,  Tatum said in a statement.  This race comes down to a clear choice: my opponent is a radical partisan who would only further divide Fulton County, while I'm focused on uniting our community, restoring trust, and fixing what's failing so we can secure our future. Fulton County has real problems that need real solutions, and I'm confident that come November, voters will see I have the better plan to fix Fulton. I'm ready to keep earning the trust and support of every voter between now and then. 

The Fulton County chair oversees one of the state's most influential local governments, with responsibility for county services, budget priorities and policy initiatives that affect more than 1 million residents.
