Honored to have the endorsement of Lee’s Family Pharmacy, a trusted, family-owned business serving Atlanta for decades. Small businesses like Lee’s keep our neighborhoods strong—and I’ll fight to make sure they have the support to thrive.

I had the privilege of visiting some of our legacy residents this week—talking, laughing & learning from those who built Southwest Atlanta’s foundation, while telling them my vision for its future. We stand on their shoulders, and they deserve a community that stands up for them.

Our team hits the streets everyday because we believe in Southwest Atlanta—in our people, our neighborhoods, and our future. Let’s keep walking toward progress, together. 💪🏿

This throwback Thursday is in honor of Mays High homecoming, happening tomorrow.

Mays taught me the value of hard work, mentorship and giving back—lessons that still guide me today. It also importantly gave me lifelong friends. Proud to be a product of APS & the Raider family!

Honored to share my story & why I’m running in the latest issue of Naval Academy Shipmate magazine.

The lessons I learned as a Marine and at the Naval Academy—service, integrity, and accountability—continue to guide me every day as I work to serve the community that raised me.

Nate Jester @natejester.bsky.social · 11d

Its always great getting together with legacy residents who are the heart of Southwest Atlanta — our seniors. They’ve built this community and deserve a city that invests in their dignity, safety and wellbeing.

We had a great time discussing my campaign and playing games.

Proud to share that I received the top score in the District 11 race from the Committee for a Better Atlanta (CBA)!

CBA scores candidates on leadership, governance, and building safe, thriving neighborhoods.

Grateful for the confidence in our bold, accountable vision.

Throwback Thursday to my youth baseball days ⚾️. Youth sports build discipline, teamwork & resilience — and give kids a safe place to thrive. I saw it firsthand with my dad coaching in SW Atlanta. Investing in our youth means investing in our future.

Had a great time worshipping with Cascade United Methodist today. Faith communities like Cascade are the heart of SW Atlanta — reminding us of the power of service.

We also ran into my dad’s frat brother, Mr. Owen Rogers, and heard stories of Morris Brown & Vietnam. Living history.

#TBT to my days with the Southwest Stingrays at the SW Atlanta YMCA 🏊🏿‍♂️— we went undefeated that year! From the pool to the Naval Academy, the Marines & now this campaign, Southwest Atlanta has been my foundation.

This race is about giving back to the community that raised me.
