A BUSY WEEK

It was a busy week on the campaign trail. We started the week by supporting the Atlanta Braves with neighborhood friends. On Labor Day, we enjoyed a relaxing day with neighbors and friends cooking out and playing yard games. Tuesday, Colonial Hills Neighborhood Association welcomed the candidates. We met many Colonial Hills neighbors and listened to their concerns as they got to know me as a candidate. Thursday, we attended the Frog Hollow and Historic Conley Hills Neighborhood Associations who joined forces to co-sponsor a Mayoral Candidates' Forum. We listened intently to what the mayoral candidates had to say and how they presented themselves. We also reunited with many old friends and were introduced to many new supporters. Saturday was a full day of knocking on doors, getting our message out and meeting our neighbors. We also stopped by the Jefferson Park Field Day at Sumner Park where we enjoyed talking with neighborhood friends and enjoying a burger. It was great seeing Mayor Macon and Councilwoman Slaughter-Gibbons at the event. I am sure that the Jefferson Park Neighborhood Association appreciated these elected officials stopping by and lending support.

Thank you to all the supporters who pat me on the back and give me an encouraging word. I have never campaigned for public office before and your words and generous spirits pick me up when the going gets tough. You, the wonderful people of East Point, are the only reason that I am seeking a seat on the city council. You deserve a councilperson who is involved in the community at large, especially in Ward B. You deserve a councilperson who you know personally and will address your questions and concerns in a prompt fashion. As you tell me time and time again, it is time for a change. Together, we will make this change. With your help we will be victorious on November 3rd and beyond!

We have been working hard but on Monday, September 14, I will be taking the day off enjoying my birthday with family and friends. No worries though, on Tuesday we are back to work and I look forward to seeing my neighborhood friends at the Jefferson Park Neighborhood Association.
