Killer Mike explains why Vincent Fort is the best choice for mayor of Atlanta

The Progressive Wing Posted on November 2, 2017 by LieparDestinNovember 2, 2017

Killer Mike explains why he believes Senator Vincent Fort is the best choice to be the next mayor of Atlanta.

winning this campaign will send a strong message to the establishment that we will not give up on creating a government – at the local, state and federal level – that works for all of us, not just the 1%.

Vincent Fort And Why He Should Be Atlanta’s Next Mayor

The Progressive Wing Posted on September 27, 2017 by LieparDestinSeptember 27, 2017

As some of you may be aware Bernie Sanders is travelling to Atlanta on Saturday to support former state Sen. Vincent Fort’s race for mayor. As the linked article notes Fort was a Bernie backer in the primaries and also:

Polls show his popularity has soared, and his policy priorities are gaining traction. He was the lone sponsor of a bill to provide universal healthcare four years ago. He introduced a similar version this month that attracted 16 co-sponsors – about one-third of the chamber’s Democratic caucus.

Knowing all this I still did not feel I knew enough about Fort so went and educated myself. What I’ve found will be scattered through this post and then in the comments section. Conveniently enough, we can start with a video titled ‘Who Is Vincent Fort?’.

Some of Fort’s Priorities

•Fair & Affordable Housing
•Marijuana Decriminalization
•Protecting Public Schools
•Police Accountability
•Preserving our Environment
•Defending Equality for all People
•Investing in the Arts
•Expanding MARTA
•2-Year College for High School Grads
•Fighting Atlanta’s HIV/AIDS Crisis
•Supporting a Living Wage

All four were tough races to replace Republicans from very safe districts who were appointed to posts within the Trump administration. In 2016, the Republicans were all incumbents, and their Democratic challengers were: Mike Pompeo (60.7%) won against Daniel Giroux (29.6%) in KS-4 Ryan Zinke (56.2%) won against Denise Juneau (40.5%) in MT-AL Tom Price (61.7%) won against Rodney Stooksbury (38.3%) in GA-06 Mick Mulvaney (59.2%) won against Fran Person (38.7%) in SC-05 In KS-04, an Independent and a Libertarian won almost 10% of the vote in 2016. First for the good news, … Continue reading →
