​We ran a good race

As you may know, we did not achieve the result we wanted in the runoff election. Still, I am proud of the race we’ve run and will be eternally grateful for your support and encouragement on this journey.
 
I look forward to completing my term representing City Council District 6, which winds up Dec. 31. It has been a privilege to serve as a Council representative for 8 years, working to move our communities forward, and this campaign been invigorating to meet and hear from so many citizens across our great City.
 
While I will not go into the New Year as your City Council President, this in no way ends my commitment to community and political engagement/activism. I’ll take some time to recharge and decide the ways in which I want to continue creating solutions around the issues about which I care so much…and for the City about which I care so much.
 
We’ve made great strides together over my two terms on Council and I appreciate your support during that time and, certainly, during this great campaign.
 
Thanks,
What do I do with my Alex Wan yard sign?
  • It’s recyclable; separate the metal stand from the plastic sign and use curbside recycling or your usual drop-off location to recycle it. #GreenAtlanta
  • Do nothing. Leave it in your yard and we will collect them in the coming days.​
