No GIV endorsement yet in Atlanta mayoral screenings
As written about before on this site, in mid-July Georgia Independent Voters began a screening process which invited all of the active Atlanta mayoral candidates to address and learn about the concerns of independent voters here in Atlanta. These screenings were designed to be the beginning of a longer conversation between mayoral candidates and independents in order to provide independents insight into the candidates views and thinking on issues of electoral reform, and to build relationships between candidates and independents here in Georgia as well as with the larger national independent movement.
While a GIV endorsement may yet come as a part of this process, none has yet been made. GIV’s focus at this time is to reach out to the candidates to organize a public forum allowing us to broaden this new conversation. In addition to our planned forum, we will shortly be posting portions of candidates’ responses to the GIV questionnaire sent out as the first step in the screening process. Please stay tuned here for announcements on upcoming details on our public forum.
