Why I'm Running
When I ran for Congress in 2020, I didn’t do it because I had a burning desire to be a politician. I did it because I felt strongly that the people of Georgia’s District 11 were not being well represented and I believed that I could make a difference.
After being gerrymandered out of CD11, I realized that running for that seat again was not an option. So, I returned to my career as a business owner and communications consultant. I felt that the best way to serve my community was to continue volunteering with two non-profits I have engaged with for years, one focused on education, the other health. (One works to bridge the digital divide for students in lower socio-economic neighborhoods while the other focuses on recovery for breast cancer patients across Georgia.)
But then, on March 8th, 2022, with just a few days left to qualify to be on the ballot in November, I was asked to run for Fulton County Commissioner.
The Republican incumbent has held the seat for eight years and has never been challenged in a general election. It looked like no one was going to challenge him this time either. So, after researching the district, the commission, and the seat, I believe we can do better. So, I’m stepping up.
I’m running, just as I did in 2020 because we deserve leaders who will choose people over politics and put us before their own self-interests every day.
With your help, we can shift the balance of power in Fulton County to ensure free and fair elections, a balance of safety and justice, and a transparent, ethical, and efficient government that works for all of us.
