The Ward D At-Large Councilmember needs a blend of skills — financial oversight to ensure our budget is balanced, policy knowledge to make fair decisions on zoning and development, and strong communication to keep residents informed. I bring experience in strategic planning, collaboration across teams, and data-driven decision-making from my professional career. Most importantly, I’m committed to listening to residents and ensuring their voices guide the decisions we make for East Point. Previous Ward D At-Large Councilmembers have worked on important initiatives for East Point — from advancing our downtown Commons project and securing funding for sidewalks and road improvements, to supporting public safety measures and investing in parks and recreation. They’ve also taken steps to strengthen accountability with audits and financial reforms. I want to build on those achievements by ensuring future development truly benefits residents, completing long-awaited infrastructure upgrades, and creating more opportunities for youth, seniors, and local businesses. The role of the Ward D, At-Large Councilmember has historically involved shaping city policies, ensuring fiscal responsibility, and making decisions that affect the entire city, not just one neighborhood. Responsibilities have included reviewing and voting on budgets, zoning, and development projects; addressing constituent concerns like infrastructure, utilities, and safety; and collaborating with the Mayor and Council to move East Point forward. What’s especially important about the At-Large seat is that it carries a responsibility to balance the needs of Ward D residents with the broader good of the whole city.
