City Councilwoman Connie Alsobrook makes bid for city of Conyers mayor

CONYERS, GA—Longtime community advocate and current City Councilwoman Connie Alsobrook has officially announced her candidacy for Mayor of Conyers in the upcoming Nov. 4, 2025 municipal election. 

A resident of Conyers for more than two decades, Alsobrook brings a legacy of hands-on leadership, civic engagement, and a proven record of delivering meaningful change for the people of her city.

Alsobrook began her journey in service in 2005, organizing grassroots efforts such as coat drives, school supply giveaways, food distributions for the homeless, and cell phone collections for displaced women. She is the founder of the Teen Debate series at the Boys and Girls Club, empowering youth to develop leadership, confidence, and critical thinking skills.

Alsobrook has served on the SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) Committee for eight years, is a graduate of the Conyers Police Department Citizens Academy, and is active with serval nonprofit organizations in Conyers.

During her tenure on City Council, Alsobrook has touched every corner of her community, such as the Summer Enrichment Program for youths, free ID copying for seniors and people with disabilities, CPR/AED training for teens, and family photo events for special needs households. She has hosted community-wide events that include free drive-in movie nights, the annual M.L.K. Race for Peace, and Christmas celebrations offering donated coats, clothing, meals, and trees decorated by local organizations. She also has organized multiple town hall meetings and serves on the Georgia Municipal Association’s Children and Youth Advisory Council.

In 2021, Alsobrook was instrumental in designating and dedicating a stretch of Milstead Avenue within the city limits in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

To boost civic engagement, Alsobrook initiated including city election information in Rockdale water utility bills for the first time—ensuring thousands of residents received timely reminders about upcoming elections and their right to vote.

Alsobrook’s  advocacy has produced tangible results: She successfully pushed for reducing the first-offense marijuana possession fine from $1,000 to $75, advocated for limiting the number of liquor stores in Conyers, and continues to hold businesses accountable for contributing meaningfully to the city—not just collecting profits. She also initiated conversations to bring a second round of ARPA (American Rescue Plan  Act) funds directly to Conyers residents. 

Alsobrook hails from a proud military family—her father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and five uncles all served in uniform—a heritage that shapes her values of duty, service, and sacrifice.

In 2021, Alsobrook completed the University of Georgia’s Paralegal Program, strengthening her legal and legislative knowledge. In 2024, she ran the IACP Fenway Fun Run, demonstrating her commitment to public safety and wellness.

Recognized for her tireless work, Alsobrook has been nominated for Public Servant of the Year by the Rice Awards, received the Shining Star Award from Vision of the Minds Inc. (2020), and was honored by Beyond the Bell Inc. (2021) and Mom Biz Boss’s Women’s History Month “History Makers” campaign.

Alsobrook has also worked to uplift others in the community by formally recognizing local changemakers. She successfully requested and secured five official proclamations honoring Coach Nelson Sutton of Eastside Ravens Inc., Sandra Dean of Beyond The Bell Inc., Dr. Annise Mabry of Tiers Free Academy, Sirena Graves of Rockdale Force, and Augustus Lett, Sr., the first certified Black electrician in Rockdale County—spotlighting their outstanding contributions to youth development, education, and community engagement.

“As Mayor, my goal will always be to try to do what is in the best interest of the people,” Alsobrook said. “I say ‘try’ because sometimes what the community wants may not be legally possible—but I will always be honest.”
