Dad. Deacon. Engineer. 61st Mayor of Atlanta.
Five years ago, Atlanta ranked 51st in the nation for park access. Today, we’ve reached our best-ever finish: 21st out of 100 cities. That kind of progress doesn’t happen by accident… it happens when a city believes every resident deserves access to nature, to community, to joy. Proud of Atlanta.

One of my favorite events of the year is back — and it’s bigger than ever. The 48th Annual Atlanta Jazz Festival returns to Piedmont Park May 24-26, 2025, right in time for Memorial Day Weekend. And the best part? It’s completely FREE. So grab your picnic blanket, call your crew, and meet me there!

Sometimes, to get to the heart of the biggest issues, you’ve got to sit down and break bread. That’s exactly what I’m doing, with leaders from around the country, starting right here in Atlanta. Friday, I’m launching Breaking Bread, a new series where the conversations are raw, honest, and overdue.

It was great celebrating Georgia Film Day last week with our Office of Film, Entertainment & Nightlife! The film and TV industry is such a huge part of what makes Atlanta special—bringing jobs, creativity, & excitement to our city. Three of the seven biggest films of 2024 were shot right here in GA!

The news is out! I'm running for re-election as Mayor of Atlanta! Over the past few years, we’ve made real progress together, but there’s still work to be done. I’m committed to keeping our communities safe, strengthening our economy, and ensuring every Atlantan has the opportunity to thrive.

Atlanta just got a little more electric! We cut the ribbon on a brand-new EV and fresh EV chargers at the City Hall parking deck—because even our rides should keep up with the city’s energy! These additions are part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and a cleaner, greener future for ATL.

My first week in officer, the Deputy COO (now COO) & I discussed the city’s biggest challenges—Fire Station 22 was one of them. Talked about since '09, but never built. We got it done. Now open, Fire Station 22 means faster response times, safer communities, & stronger emergency support for Atlanta.

Atlanta has my heart, and every day, I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve this city and contribute to something bigger than myself. Seeing the impact being made across Georgia—especially by Hall of Fame Inductees like Dan T. Cathy and Shirley Franklin—reminds me why this work matters.

I’m truly honored! Still soaking in the incredible day being celebrating as Georgia Trend’s Georgian of the Year! Being recognized alongside so many visionary leaders who are shaping the future of our state is truly humbling.

It was amazing to see so many people come together to support youth aging out of foster care, helping them access education, mentorship, & resources to build their futures. Being part of such a meaningful night left me feeling grateful and deeply moved by the power of community & collective impact.
