Another successful day of canvassing! I love talking to our neighbors, hearing what they like about Sandy Springs and what can be made better. I'll center the voices of District 3 in expediting sidewalk construction, housing options, permitting issues, and recycling.

Early voting starts Oct. 14th!

I love our City Springs events! Tonight kicked off the Blue Stone Arts & Music Festival. Beautiful art, rides for the kids, & live music ๐ŸŽถ

These events are a reminder of Helen Keller's quote (as seen on one of our Sandy Springs Turtles), "Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much." โค๏ธ

I'm glad that the Sandy Springs City Council voted in favor of Holy Innocents' Episcopal School having an ordinance exception in order to have a true Friday Night Lights game. They will have a nighttime homecoming game to remember on Oct. 3 versus Hapeville Charter Career Academy ๐Ÿˆ
