I wasn’t sure about how the evening/ night was going to go but as of now, it’s been a pleasant roller coaster ride
Although my selected hopeful in my head Kwabena Nkromo doesn’t appear that he will win his office( I don’t live in the Stonecrest district) ,I will throw my unofficial support for Tara Graves and wish her very well. I also congratulate Jazzmin Cobble and Tammy Grimes win.
God knows , Stonecrest have been through a lot and deserves better.
I’m also hoping for Stone Mountain next mayor.Though it appeared to be Beverly Jones,there is no confirmation of her win and the same for the Mayor of McDonough ( Sandra Vincent)
Though I want Andre Dickens to be Atlanta mayor,if Felecia Moore wins the runoff,I will support her win. Lastly, I’m happy that Bill Edwards retained his seat as South Fulton’s mayor. Sure,there have been some glitches with him but my South Fulton/ Camp Creek still thrives and they’re STILL growing . Somebody has to know what they’re doing for that to happy.
Lastly,I also wished that Robin Biro would have won Tucker.( I can see my sister sulking right now) Oh well..maybe next time. Meanwhile,I’m also happy that the Braves won the World Series. I know that the alumni and Hank Aaron is smiling from above.
