Certified public accountant Darla Eden defeated developer Kent Henderson in Tuesday night’s Republican primary runoff for Hall County tax commissioner.Eden captured 52.5 percent of the vote to Henderson’s 47.5 percent in her quest to succeed Keith Echols, who didn’t seek re-election after three four-year terms.The job, which largely serves to collect property taxes for the various governments inside the county, comes with a first-term salary of $77,344.56.“I want to thank all the voters for being educated and taking interest in this race and its issues,” Eden said. “I’m really thankful to the voters who went back out after the primary and voted. I think they did a lot of homework in the past three weeks.”The former finance director and auditor for Hall County won’t face Democratic opposition in the Nov. 6 general election.Henderson, who has served on Hall County’s Planning Commission and worked as a developer for 18-plus years, couldn’t be reached for comment.Eden has said she entered the race because she misses public service.“I want to go back and help Hall County again,” she said.
