Atlanta Mayor Candidates at Emory

Nicole Anderson sends this in:


Hello!

Just wanted to let you know that Emory University will be hosting the candidates for mayor of Atlanta on Wednesday, October 14 (7PM) for spirited debate under the leafy trees of Emory Glenn Memorial Chapel (1660 North Decatur Road, 30322).

As the City of Atlanta drives economic development for the entire metro region and Georgia, it’s important for Emory and our surrounding communities [including Decatur!] to get to know the candidates who want to take the helm and lead the city for the next four years.

You and your readers are invited to come watch the debate unfold as the top candidates take the podium to state their case. Though you may not be voting in the election, this office certainly has a regional impact that is important to Atlanta’s neighbors. The forum will be moderated by Fox-5 anchor Russ Spencer and young alum & New York Times reporter Robbie Brown (Class of 2007).

Confirmed candidates include:

· Lisa Borders, city council president
· Peter Brownlowe, former Atlanta police officer
· Kyle Keyser, founder of Atlantans Together Against Crime
· Mary Norwood, city councilwoman
· Kasim Reed, state senator
· Jesse Spikes, attorney

This event is sponsored by Emory’s Office of Government Affairs, Emory’s Center for Ethics, the League of Women Voters of Atlanta-Fulton County, and the Clifton Community Partnership

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
Thanks,
N
