Candidate Q&A – Kwame Abernathy, Atlanta City Council, District 9
1) Why are you running for office in the city of Atlanta?
I’m running because this is the most critical time in our community’s history. Equitable economic development on all sides of the district and the City of Atlanta is what becomes possible if I am elected.
2) What makes you a better candidate than your opponents?
I have a community engagement strategy for neighborhood, community, faith, and small business leaders. My opponents have a strategy for special interest stakeholders that are disconnected from our neighborhoods.
3) What do you think is Atlanta’s greatest strength?
Atlanta’s greatest strength is the connection between our neighborhoods and the history of justice and fairness for all. The history of social integration has built a city like no other.
4) What do you think is Atlanta’s biggest challenge?
Atanta’s biggest challenge is the digital divide that locks our communities out of the mainstream of technology. Workforce development and job skills development for the least of these is critical. This cannot happen without affordable housing.
5) How would you address what you feel is Atlanta’s biggest challenge?
How I will address Atlanta’s biggest challenge will be in serving all of the people’s needs in my district, and ensuring public policy is in place to serve all of the people in District 9. This will include holding fast when lobbyists, special interest groups, and corporations attempt to stronghold our public servants.
