Atlanta, GALocal News

Stephanie Flowers has officially entered the race for the District 12 seat on the Atlanta City Council, marking a significant step in local politics. In her campaign announcement, she articulated a platform centered on community safety, preventing the displacement of long-time residents, and promoting equitable economic development. With a robust background in child advocacy and violence prevention, Flowers is well-equipped to address pressing issues affecting youth and public safety in the district. "For too long, our neighborhoods have been overlooked by those in power," she stated, highlighting her commitment to ensuring that District 12 is heard. The seat is currently held by Councilmember Antonio Lewis, and Flowers is expected to prioritize community engagement as she moves forward.

Her campaign aims to create safer streets, foster stronger families, and enhance opportunities for the youth in her district. Flowers’ candidacy is particularly important as it addresses the needs of underrepresented neighborhoods in southwest Atlanta. As the campaign unfolds, her focus on transparency and resource allocation will resonate with constituents eager for change.
