The Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods (BCN) invited candidates in contested Fulton County and Georgia General Assembly races representing BCN neighborhoods to participate in our 2026 Election Central. Candidates were asked to respond to three questions addressing issues relevant to Buckhead residents and the responsibilities of the office they are seeking. Candidate responses are due October 1, 2026.
Candidates were given the option to submit either written responses of up to 250 words per question or one video response of up to six minutes addressing all three questions. Candidates running for the same level of government received the same questions and submission guidelines.
Invitations were extended to candidates in contested races for Fulton County Commission Chair, Fulton County Commission District 3, and Georgia House and Senate districts that include neighborhoods within the BCN geographic area. Candidates running unopposed were not asked to participate.
2026 Candidate Questions
BCN developed separate questionnaires for Fulton County and Georgia legislative candidates to reflect the responsibilities of the offices they are seeking.
