Passing the Baton to the Next Generation

As a Certified County Commissioner, I am running for Fulton County Chairman because I believe it is time to pass the baton to the next generation of leadership — and to lead Fulton County into its strongest chapter yet.

Our best days are ahead of us, but only if we have leadership that unites us, invests in our people, and fights for every corner of our county.

Having hosted more than 100 town halls, I know this: Fulton County residents are paying attention. They are informed, engaged, and ready for leadership that is fresh but seasoned — leadership that values their voices, understands county needs, and treats taxpayer dollars with care and respect.

For the past 12 years, I've served the residents of Fulton County with one unwavering commitment: show up, listen, and deliver results. During that time, I have had the responsibility of directly representing nearly half of Fulton County as a district commissioner — including Atlanta, East Point, College Park, South Fulton, Union City, Fairburn, Palmetto, and Chattahoochee Hills.

I've seen what's possible when we put people over politics, transparency over back-room deals, and collaboration over conflict. But I've also seen how our county suffers when leadership is divided.

Countywide Impact

Service That Spans Every Corner

At the same time, my service has always been countywide. I have consistently voted for and supported initiatives that benefit all 15 cities of Fulton County:

  • Libraries, animal shelter, and water reclamation facility investments
  • MARTA and Grady Health System support
  • Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) agreements
  • TSPLOST transportation initiatives
  • Critical infrastructure and public services that keep Fulton County moving forward

The Status Quo —
That Must Change.
As Chairman

My Priorities Are Clear & Rooted in Experience

1
Justice Partners Funding & Accountability

Sufficiently funding our justice partners so Fulton County can come out from under the federal consent decree and deliver a justice system that is fair, effective, and accountable.

2
Inclusive Economic Development

Building strong partnerships with our cities and the business community — ensuring collaboration fuels growth, attracts investment, and creates real economic opportunities for residents.

3
Mobility & Transportation

Improving mobility throughout the county, including transportation and infrastructure investments that connect people to jobs, schools, and services.

4
Workforce Investment

Investing in our workforce, so the people who serve Fulton County can afford to live here and build stable futures.

5
Arts & Culture Funding

Providing dedicated funding for arts and culture, recognizing that creative economies, cultural institutions, and local artists are not extras — they are economic drivers and community builders.

6
Senior Services & Dignity

Strengthening services for our seniors, ensuring access to reliable transportation and engaging, consistent programming so older adults can remain active, connected, and supported.

7
Veterans Services & Support

Expanding wraparound services for veterans, honoring their service with the comprehensive support they deserve.

8
Strategic Healthcare Partnerships

Advancing health equity and eliminating acute care deserts below I-20, ensuring residents have timely access to emergency, inpatient, and critical medical services close to where they live.

Not as North Fulton or South Fulton. Not as city versus city. But as One Fulton — united in purpose and moving forward together.

That is why I'm running for Chairman — to bring proven leadership, collaboration, and results to every resident in every community across Fulton County. The work continues, and I'm ready to lead Fulton County into its best chapter yet.

Yours In Service,
