Thanks, I was heavily leaning that way already. I’d love to get more engaged with local politics but I honestly didn’t even know there was an election next week until a canvasser for Rohit knocked on my door today.

One has been in office for 8 years and hasn’t moved the needle. The other founded a civic engagement & political watchdog organization, which has been educating & informing the constituency for years.

IMO, Atlanta will see far better returns with the latter, Rohit Malhotra.

Does the mayor’s TAD redistribute funds from one to another? ~45% ($84.3/189.6 mil per year) would come from the BeltLine TAD extension, where much of what is proposed is not included there, nor Trails ATL Phase 1 Recs aligns in TADs…

Glowing endorsement here.

Great opportunity to remind Atlantans is you want to see more candidates support your issues, you need to actively sow the field and position a deep bench of potential candidates to run & *maybe* get elected. At every possible seat of influence!

ATLDOT really needs to convert Edgewood and Auburn into one-way streets along the direction of the Streetcar! Should have timed the change with the construction work

New curb installs somehow REMOVED ADA ramps at Marietta & Park Ave that existed a month ago *AND* now point pedestrians into intersection instead of crossing street.

This is a DOWNGRADE.

Atlantans! Any voting recs & rationale for either:

1. judges up for re-election,
2. BOE seats, &
3. ad valorem referendum for seniors?

Early voting has started! Do your homework and vote Rohit!!!

Thoughts on Rinker as an alternative to Bond?

14.10.2025 16:57 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Both Rinker and Mendoza are preferred over Bond! Don’t think you’ll go wrong with one and I anticipate their votes will get split, so I don’t think 1 over another wins without a runoff.

14.10.2025 20:34 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Still need to review judges & BOE seats.

Ad Valorem- leaning no, but not convinced either way. More $ for students or more money for all seniors.

At face value I don’t believe all seniors should have a reduced cost.

Depends on your district and if you’re looking at more than city seats (we should be voting for each option available!).

Generally:
-If protest voting mayor, select a legitimate name so it counts against / not thrown away
-President: Rohit
-P1AL: anyone except for Bond
-PSEC: Dem slate

Early voting for Atlanta starts *TODAY*

We have the opportunity to elect Rohit Malhotra, a thought leader in public policy to oversee our city’s legislative body, City Council.

Rohit is a proven bridge builder, connecting those across Atlanta with one another to do good.

Most funding the past few decades is going to be private investment which yes correlates with north of the seatbelt.

But less than 20% of a fund for more than 50% of the city population when other funds are adamant on equitable spending, ie transit investment? That’s a tall order.
