Welcome to the best District in Atlanta (we’re a little biased).
Dear friends & neighbors,
Welcome to the Atlanta City Council District 5 website! Here, you will find background on our District, information about how to get involved with neighborhood initiatives, a living document of helpful resources, and instructions for how to best reach out to me or my staff with questions or concerns.
District 5 is home to some of the most vibrant, engaged, and progressive communities in Atlanta, and it is an honor to serve as your Councilmember. Please do not hesitate to reach out if we can be of service.

Have an idea or an issue?
