Election Central 2021

The Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods sent an invitation to candidates* who are running in Buckhead neighborhoods to submit a 3-minute video speaking directly to the residents of Buckhead and letting us know why they should get our vote. This included all City wide races, Council Districts 6 and 9 (Howard Shook, District 7 and Mary Norwood, District 8 were unopposed) and School Board Races both City wide Seats and Seat 4.

This page provides a list of qualified candidates and links to each candidate’s video, if submitted and also to their website, if available. For City Council and School Board races where there was no opponent, those candidates did not receive an invitation to send in a video.

*Note: Every effort was made to reach each candidate, although contact information for some candidates could not be found.
