DeKalb County,

​

Four years have passed since I began the journey to become the Solicitor-General of DeKalb County.  I ran on the premise of building partnerships; and only through those partnerships can we build a better, safer DeKalb.

​

Since 2017 I have been working hard to build those partnerships.  I spent the first year in office expanding and training the team. I created a Quality of Life Unit dedicated to eradicating blight in our communities and holding repeat violators accountable.  

Building partnerships with groups like the Women’s Resource Center and the International Women’s House offered me the opportunity to create a fun and exciting way to give back.  I created the first ever Dancing with the DeKalb Stars to help end Domestic Violence.  In three years, we raised over $50,000 to help victims of domestic violence.

​

Other partnerships with groups including Men Stopping Violence, Juvenile Court and the Decatur Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated, have led to the office securing grants, providing toiletries for foster children, promoting healthy teen relationships and creating a campaign that is directly geared to bring awareness to domestic violence in the community.
