LASHAWN JOHNSON WINS ELECTION FOR THIRD WARD FLINT CITY COUNCIL SEAT
Write-in candidate LaShawn Johnson will serve as Flint City Councilperson for the city’s Third Ward, as confirmed by certified results of the August 5, 2025 special general election.
Johnson’s victory was certified on Wednesday, Aug. 13 by the Genesee County Board of Canvassers. She beat out the seat’s two primary election winners, Beverly Biggs-Leavy and A.C. Dumas, with about 43.5% (or 322) of the 740 total votes.
Biggs-Leavy garnered about 30.5% (or 226) and Dumas had roughly 26% (or 192) of the total votes.
Biggs-Leavy had told the press prior to the Wednesday’s certification that she intended to ask for a recount. However, Genesee County Clerk/Registrar Clemons confirmed to EVM that the 48-hour deadline for a recount filing passed at 11:30 a.m. this morning without a filing.
