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.

This is how we keep sandy springs children safe
Every time I drop my daughter off at school, I carry the same fear every parent does — will she come home safe? My greatest fear is leaving her a world worse than the one I inherited. And with every school shooting, like the one we saw at Appalachee High School, that fear grows.
Thoughts and prayers won’t protect our kids. Policy will. That’s why I’m fighting for common sense solutions in Sandy Springs: trauma-informed drills, fully staffed threat assessment teams, and safe storage requirements to keep guns out of the wrong hands.
We cannot afford to wait. Protecting our children must come first.
Yesterday’s shooting shattered me — not just as a father worried for my own daughter, but for every child in Sandy Springs.
My greatest fear is leaving a world worse for my daughter than the one I inherited. And those fears grow with every shooting that targets our children. We cannot afford to let this keep happening in our schools. Georgia has already seen it hit home at Appalachee High School — and every parent felt that pain.
Thoughts and prayers won’t protect our kids. Policy will. That’s why in my first 100 days as mayor, I’ll lead Georgia with the Sandy Springs Safe Storage and Accountability Act:
Require every gun in our city to be secured with a trigger lock or stored in a safe.
Require GPS tracking on firearms, holding owners accountable unless their gun is reported stolen.
Ensure stolen guns used in crimes are traced back — and gun owners who don’t report theft are held responsible.
This isn’t about politics. It’s about protecting children, supporting teachers, and making Sandy Springs the state leader in school safety and common-sense accountability.
We owe it to our kids to do more than send thoughts and prayers. We owe them safety, and we owe them leadership.
