Several constituents have asked for my thoughts about the State Senate race that is brewing in parts of Brookhaven and in the Oglethorpe, Silver Lake, and Murphey Candler areas. If you are voting in the Republican primary, my choice is Fran Millar. Fran is the State Representative from Dunwoody. Having worked with Fran on many issues, including the property assessment freeze that will be on your ballot this November, I can attest that he is the candidate most likely to listen to our community and to be effective for our neighborhoods.
