Among his other solutions: fix city fountains, phase out grocery bags, and help solve Peachtree Road's traffic woes by, yes, moving Cheesecake Factory's valet off the bustling thoroughfare. Duke would like to increase transparency at City Hall, build more parks, and wants metro Atlanta police departments to collaborate to reduce crime.įinally, we have Glenn Wrightson, a longtime Grant Park resident whose platform is focused around fixing quality of life issues with smaller "practical solutions" such as lowering water rates and making police reports more accessible. Then there's Fraser Duke, a Collier Hills financial planner and political novice frustrated by the city's decision to use the hotel-and-motel tax to fund Arthur Blank's new athletic shrine, its acrimonious relationship with Fulton County, and what he considers little to no movement to improve transit.

Bartell says neighborhood, community, faith, and small-business leaders haven't had a voice on such issues as the forthcoming Atlanta Falcons stadium, street vending program, and pension overhaul. In one corner there's Al Bartell, a public policy activist and perennial candidate who's previously taken stabs at the U.S. And while he has our vote, he still has a lot to prove. It's safe to say the mayor will walk away victorious. In 2013, history will likely repeat itself as Mayor Kasim Reed runs against three untested underdog candidates. Since Maynard Jackson became the city's first black mayor in 1973, every incumbent has won re-election.

For the last 40 years, the road to a second term for Atlanta mayors has been free of any real obstacles.
