Join the campaign for everyday people
I was born and raised in this city we love. Like you, I have seen Athens grow in incredible ways, but I've watched as the benefit only falls to a few. There are so many more whose needs are unmet and whose voices are unheard. I am running to build a thriving and equitable Athens where every member of the community has the opportunity to succeed.
