We’re Releasing Our New Campaign Video
We’re excited to release our new campaign video sharing Dontaye Carter’s vision for Sandy Springs. From stronger schools to safer streets, affordable housing, and smarter growth, this campaign is about building a city that works for all of us.
Today, I’m proud to share our new campaign video with the people of Sandy Springs. This is more than an introduction — it’s a call to action for the future of our city.
Our families deserve leadership that doesn’t just make promises but delivers real solutions. In this campaign, I’m committed to:
Stronger Schools – building partnerships to give every child a fair shot.
Safer Streets – commonsense safety strategies that protect our families.
Affordable Housing – ensuring teachers, first responders, and working families can afford to live in the city they serve.
Smarter Growth – revitalizing neighborhoods, holding property owners accountable, and protecting the character of Sandy Springs.
This video reflects why I’m running: to make Sandy Springs a city that works for all of us. It’s about people, not politics — about listening to our neighbors, lifting up every voice, and making sure no one is left behind.

Podcast Feature: Candidate Profile – Dontaye Carter for Mayor of Sandy Springs
Dontaye Carter, candidate for Mayor of Sandy Springs, was recently featured on The Georgia Politics Podcast’s Candidate Profile series. In the episode, he shares his journey from journalist and community advocate to mayoral candidate and outlines his vision for affordability, equity, and transparency in 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.
