Friends and Neighbors,

August 10th
"I want to thank all of my family, friends, supporters, volunteers and my campaign team for a tremendous effort over the last 4 months.  We ran an excellent campaign and beat the odds to come in first place in the Primary.   

On election night, I reached out to Commissioner-Elect Joan Garner to congratulate her and wish her great success.   I am also calling on everyone who supporting me to give their same commitment and support to Joan  she makes the transition.    

I thank the voters of Fulton County for the opportunity to exchange ideas and for allowing me to interview for the job of Commissioner.   I will continue to remain engaged in the process of advocating for regionalized transportation, fiscal accountability, and the improvement in the delivery of county services.  The Best Is Yet to Come!"

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I am truly honored and humbled to have led the field and earned a spot in the runoff for the Democratic nomination for Fulton County Commission in District 6!  What an exciting night it was, and I know that I would not be where I am today without your consistent and dedicated support!

We have come a long way and I can’t thank you enough. Fulton County voters spoke loudly and clearly last night. They want New, Progressive, Leadership with energy and fresh ideas. They want someone they can trust to say "no" to the establishment, special interest groups, and politics as usual and stand for the values you and I share.  They want real reform, and together we will give them that.

Needless to say, in order to win the nomination, I NEED YOUR HELP once again! While we out-performed our opponents and received an incredible 42% of the vote, we must raise more money in a shorter period of time than ever before.  I need your help now so we can continue spreading our message of fiscal accountability and job creation to the voters of Fulton County.

Thank you! Because of the hard work of so many great supporters, we are in the August 10th runoff.   If your finances permit, please make a secure online contribution right now for any amount, up to the $$$ Maximum limit for the runoff.  We will win this runoff because of the support of great friends like you.


I look forward to hearing from you soon and serving as your next Commissioner.

The Fulton County Commission District 6 seat is currently held by Nancy Boxill, who after 23 years on the Commission has announced her decision to not seek a sixth term.   The Fulton County Board of Commissioners approves the operating budget of county departments, this includes funding for libraries, court systems, Sheriff, Marshal, Public Defender, Solicitor, the jail, health services, funding for Grady hospital, and also art programs. 

The Commission appoints the County Manager, the County Attorney, and the Clerk to the Commission, approves capital improvement projects, contracts of $50,000 and above, sets policy for growth and development, and authorizes bond referenda.

As many of you know, I’ve served in public service most of my life.  I want to take this opportunity to ask for your support in my bid for the district 6 seat.  Growing up in Atlanta, for eight generations my family was heavily involved in community activism, and I caught the bug of at an early age. Since then, I have gone on to serve at the local and federal levels of government.   I offer a broad diverse record of civic involvement, strong business acumen, energy and fresh ideas to the reisdents of Fulton County and Board of Commissioners.

Growing up in a single-parent home, I understand the importance of advocating for working families, fighting for livable wages, and supporting the Right to Organize.  As a small business owner, I have experience in balancing a buget and will work to ensure our tax dollars are well spent.  I plan to hold myself accountable and remain accessible to everyl businesses and residents.  It is my hope you will join my campaign to help make Fulton County a better place to live, work, play, in addition to, a wonderful place for others to visit.

The Fulton County District 6 seat encompasses portions of the central and eastern sections of the City of Atlanta, including Adair Park, Castleberry Hill, Grant Park, Sylvan Hills, Capitol View, Reynoldstown, Downtown, Old Forth Ward, Inman Park, Midtown, Virginia-Highland, Morningside, Ansley Park, and West End.

I am running for office because I want to help accomplish the following things:

• Hold The Line on Taxes: Fiscal Accountability
• Find alternative funding sources for Marta and Grady to lower the tax burden on Fulton County residents
• Seek opportunities to improve services, reduce costs and give residents a good return on their tax dollars
• Build global relationships that create jobs in Fulton County

I also believe that Fulton County residents must have someone fighting for the little guy: homeowners, small business owners, seniors, and working families.  I would appreciate hearing your thoughts and feedback at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
