Podcast Feature: Candidate Profile – Dontaye Carter for Mayor of Sandy Springs
I’m honored to have been featured in The Georgia Politics Podcast’s Candidate Profile series. In this episode, we dive into my journey, vision, and why I believe Sandy Springs deserves bold, inclusive leadership.
👤 What we cover:
My personal story — growing up in a military family, being raised by a single mother, and discovering early on what perseverance, service, and storytelling truly mean.
My work as a journalist and communicator, from leading public affairs in Fulton County to amplifying voices in nationally-important cases like Ahmaud Arbery and R. Kelly.
Who I am beyond politics — husband, father, small business owner, and volunteer: Vice Chair of my child’s school council, First Vice President of the Atlanta NAACP, Chair of North Fulton Democrats.
The challenges I see in Sandy Springs, and the solutions I’m advocating — affordability (especially for teachers and first responders), equity, transparency, smarter traffic and infrastructure planning, and boosting opportunity for minority-owned businesses.
🎯 Why this matters:
Sandy Springs is at a pivotal moment. Decisions we make now will shape our quality of life for years to come — for all residents, not just the privileged. I believe that through responsive leadership, shared resources, and inclusive policy, we can build a city that lifts every voice.
