#Georgia voters! What is the most important election for you in the May 21st primaries? Mine is probably the DeKalb County CEO – the incumbent is not seeking another term, three Democrats are running, and the Democratic nominee is basically guaranteed to be elected.
Here’s more info for the DeKalb County area:

Here are the campaign pages for the three candidates for DeKalb CEO:
- Steve Bradshaw: https://believeinsteve24.com/
- Lorraine Cochran-Johnson: https://lorrainefordekalbceo.com/meet-lorraine/
- Larry Johnson: https://www.lj4ceo.com/
@politicsI’m trying to get a sense of what ‘the issues’ are based on the candidates’ websites, just seeing the big-picture items they highlight on their platform/priority pages.
Johnson basically hits the big buckets of county government: improving infrastructure, supporting entrepreneurship, promoting health, and supporting emergency response capabilities. Cochran-Johnson puts here priorities into 9 buckets, getting more specific (but not addressing health as a specific issue), also highlighting housing, government accountability, and youth empowerment. Bradshaw’s list seems idiosyncratic - it mentions crime reduction and business-promotion, but also softer topics like county leadership diversity targets and an anti-littering PR campaign.
I’ve seen a few Bradshaw yard signs around Decature.deleted by creator
