It was wonderful to participate in yesterday’s Candidate Forum hosted by @roughdraftatlanta.com! I appreciate being able to speak about walkability, diverse housing options, and building a more sustainable Sandy Springs. These are the issues that shape our everyday lives and our future. 🌳

A few pics from tonight's event. It was wonderful to talk about mental health, public health, disability advocacy, and green spaces, and provide resources to the community. More to come!

As your Sandy Springs Councilperson, I will work to bring more information and resources to our neighbors ⭐️

Y'all, do yourself a favor. Get the Lumber Jack Latte at Just Love Coffee Cafe. Tell 'em Tara sent you. One of the many fabulous options here in District 3 ☕️

Another successful day of canvassing! I love talking to our neighbors, hearing what they like about Sandy Springs and what can be made better. I'll center the voices of District 3 in expediting sidewalk construction, housing options, permitting issues, and recycling.

Early voting starts Oct. 14th!

I love our City Springs events! Tonight kicked off the Blue Stone Arts & Music Festival. Beautiful art, rides for the kids, & live music 🎶

These events are a reminder of Helen Keller's quote (as seen on one of our Sandy Springs Turtles), "Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much." ❤️

🌱 City councils may not write federal policy, but we shape local solutions. Sandy Springs deserves leadership that puts our community first.

I'm glad that the Sandy Springs City Council voted in favor of Holy Innocents' Episcopal School having an ordinance exception in order to have a true Friday Night Lights game. They will have a nighttime homecoming game to remember on Oct. 3 versus Hapeville Charter Career Academy 🏈

There’s something magical about the Sandy Springs Lantern Parade. 🏮✨ It’s not just the lights — it’s neighbors and strangers walking together, celebrating art, light, and connection. Grateful for this beautiful tradition. 💛 What are your favorite local events? #LanternParade
