Issues

Atlanta has done much to face its future over the past three years, but even as we see the Phoenix rising again, much work is left before it will fly. We need to sustain growth in the business districts, encourage stability in our neighborhoods and foster a sense of ownership in every single Atlantan. Citizens will care even more about Atlanta when they feel like the City cares about them.

I have dreamt of serving my city since childhood. Atlanta has the potential to be a world-class city, but we must meet the challenges of our growth by facing the serious issues before us.
