Endorsement of Hattie Portis-Jones

After nearly two decades of public service—three terms as your Mayor and years prior as an engaged community leader—I have had the privilege of witnessing firsthand what it takes to lead our great city with integrity, wisdom, and unwavering commitment. Leadership is not simply about holding an office; it’s about vision, collaboration, and consistency in working for the people we serve.

As I conclude my third term as Mayor, I do so with both gratitude and confidence for Fairburn’s future. That confidence is rooted in my firm belief that Councilwoman Hattie Portis-Jones is the best person to lead our city forward as Fairburn’s next Mayor.
