Since 2015, I have been blessed to serve the citizens of Fulton County as the District 2 Commissioner. My focus has been to improve Fulton County Government for all our citizens so that citizens receive the programs and services they deserve.
From the day I took the oath of office, I have been a watchdog of taxpayer dollars and worked to ensure the County is fiscally responsible. Some of the accomplishments that I have championed for Fulton citizens include the following:
- Focus on responsible spending has led to eight millage rate reductions (26% decrease) in nine years.
- Spearheaded expansion of county Mental Health services resulting in an over 600% increase in citizens served.
- Over $400 million in improvements to North Fulton water infrastructure, resulting in expanded capacity to support growth and environmental sustainability.
- Took on Fulton Tax Assessor and Georgia Department of Revenue over faulty, excessive assessments and won, saving county taxpayers millions of dollars.
- Led effort to establish Fulton as first Georgia county to take on opioid manufacturers and distributors, leading to the State of Georgia and its local governments executing a settlement for $636 million, which will be used to enhance drug treatment and prevention services.
- As Chair of the County’s Audit Committee, directed the implementation of a comprehensive internal whistleblower hotline, which has recently been expanded to the general public.
- Established benchmarks in 2023 to hold judges and prosecutors accountable for county funds and ensure citizens receive timely due process, jails aren’t overcrowded and case backlog in Fulton is reduced.
- Provided long term tax relief and protection to North Fulton homeowners by working to get legislation passed that provides for new exemptions, which capped property tax bills amid rising assessments.
Fiscal responsibility. Transparency. Excellent customer service. Determination to take on challenges and fight for my constituents.
That is what I pledge to continue to do for the taxpayers in District 2 that includes Milton, Alpharetta, Roswell, Sandy Springs and Mountain Park. I have been honored to serve, look forward to the challenges ahead and plan to dedicate the next four years to the residents of Fulton County.
As Commissioner of District 2, I will continue to work hard for you and to serve you with integrity. Please join me in my effort to continue to move Fulton forward by supporting my re-election campaign and voting for Bob Ellis for Fulton County Commissioner, District 2 in the 2024 Election.
Thanks for your support!
