Duluth, Georgia:
A Vibrant City

14.jpg

Over the past 15 years, Duluth has experienced thoughtful, intentional growth - a true rebirth.

 

Visit downtown, and you'll immediately feel its renewed energy.
 

But our work isn’t finished.​

​​

We need to focus on 3 priorities: 

- Redeveloping Buford Highway & the Hudgens Property,

- Continued Neighborhood Engagement &

- Balanced Housing.

Putting My Experience to Work

I was born and raised in South Atlanta. My family and I have been residents of Duluth, GA for the past 20 years. 

 

Duluth is our home.

​

I've seen Duluth grow from a sleepy downtown with a cool city hall to the always active Downtown where we love to enjoy the many awesome events.

​But Duluth is more than its downtown. How do we keep investing in our downtown while also paying attention to the rest of the city?  

 

It is important to keep investing in the downtown because of the ripple effect of energy created that spreads out to the rest of the city.

 

I care about my community and want Duluth to thrive.

​

I consider myself a stakeholder in the city and community. This is my home and community.

​

For the past 30 years, I have worked in the housing industry, developing and managing multifamily communities. I am the Chief Operating Officer & Partner at The Management Group LLC. 

​

My shared Community Values 

inform my decisions and voting.​​​​
