The status quo isn’t working.
Atlanta has the largest income inequality in the nation. Housing costs are skyrocketing. Working families are struggling to make ends meet.
Let’s put people over profit and invest in a Green New Deal for Atlanta.
Meet Kelsea
I’m a union member, community organizer, and former education policy worker, born and raised in Metro Atlanta. Growing up in a family of educators and public service workers, I was raised to believe our government has a responsibility to provide everyone with safe housing, quality education, and a good standard of living.
In office, I’ll fight with every tool in the book to invest in accessible public transit, lower housing costs, and make sure our city works for everyone – not just the 1%.

Our Vision: Atlanta For ALL
Atlanta has become unaffordable for working families — the cost of housing, utilities, and groceries is through the roof! We deserve a city government that stands up for us — not the billionaires and corporate developers. Together, we can fight to lower housing costs, expand public transit, and fully fund public programs that help our communities thrive.
Build Affordable Housing
Rent has skyrocketed because of corporate greed, and colluding landlords who jack up prices year after year. We can lower housing costs by investing city funds in affordable social housing, holding corporate developers accountable to their promises to build affordable units, and freezing property taxes for long-time homeowners who deserve to stay in their communities. Housing is a human right – not a commodity!
Green New Infrastructure
Creating a green, resilient city is not just an environmental issue — it’s an economic issue. Let’s expand public transit by investing in high-speed bus lanes, sidewalks on every street, citywide light rail, and safer infrastructure for bicyclists and pedestrians. With the threat of climate change worsening annually, we must protect Atlanta’s most vulnerable neighborhoods by preserving our public parks and tree cover to prevent flooding and fight the summer heat. Atlanta deserves a green future!
People Over Profits
The Atlanta way just isn’t working for the working class. Billionaires and corporate developers are ripping off working Atlantans roughly $290 million per year in unpaid taxes, and they’re eating millions more in corporate tax breaks for projects like the Gulch, Cop City, and the Beltline. Enough is enough: it’s time the ultra-wealthy paid their fair share. Voters deserve democratic, public control over city-funded projects. We need Atlanta to work for all of us – not just the 1%.
