Hapeville has the highest millage rate of any city in Fulton County — and if you pay rent or a mortgage here, you feel it! We absolutely need strong services like our own police, fire, and EMS — but I believe we can fund those while making life more affordable for everyone, from newlyweds in Signal Apartments to seniors living on fixed incomes. I will fight to lower our millage rates and property taxes!

I see it near my own home on North Avenue — cars speeding through stop signs and putting neighbors at risk. Whether you’re walking your kids to school, getting your steps in, or taking your dog out, safety should always be a priority. I’ll prioritize traffic calming measures that actually work -  from speed tables to illuminated stop signs - designed with each intersection and neighborhood in mind.

Access to fresh food shouldn’t depend on owning a car. Too many residents are underserved by our current options. I’ll work to bring in more accessible, community-focused grocery solutions so that everyone in Hapeville can shop locally — with dignity and convenience.

Delta and Porsche are proud to have a huge footprint in Hapeville. So are thousands of Hapeville residents, many of whom are their employees, who deserve to benefit from that presence. I’ll work to strengthen our city’s partnerships with major employers to make sure they’re investing in our people and our future.

From Día de los Muertos and the Butterfly Parade to public murals and mainstage performances — the arts are central to what makes Hapeville special. I’ll fight to make sure the arts aren’t just preserved, but expanded. That means protecting funding and creating new opportunities to grow our creative community.
