2024 Atlanta City Council Post 3 At-Large Candidate Scorecard
As early voting continues, voters will decide which of five candidates to elect to Atlanta City Council Post 3 At-Large. We wanted to know what our candidates would do to ensure completion of Beltline rail if elected.
Based on their written responses to our Candidate Survey, we cannot endorse a candidate. No one scored better than 73 out of 105 possible points, and in our view, the candidates demonstrated a lack of understanding of the project's current status or about what they'd do to advance Streetcar East and Beltline rail.
This important seat is one of 3 at-large seats that ALL Atlanta voters fill. The winner can become part of the emerging coalition of Beltline rail supporters, including Council President Doug Shipman and Councilmembers Bakhtiari, Dozier, and Farokhi, representing districts 5, 4, and 2 respectively.
Please attend these candidates' events and press them for answers on Beltline rail, letting them know why it matters to you. If you have a Beltline Rail Now T-shirt, wear one; if you don't, buy one here. And when you vote, carefully consider the candidates’ answers. We need a veto-proof majority to ensure that Atlanta moves forward.
