AROUND TOWN: Georgia’s last Democratic governor has advice for its next one

The day after Georgia elected its first Democratic governor in over two decades, the last person to hold that distinction spoke in Cobb County. Roy Barnes, who served as Georgia’s governor from 1999 to 2003, addressed the Rotary Club of Marietta Wednesday. Georgia’s last Democratic governor opened his remarks by joking that he didn’t know what to talk about. He went on to analyze the 2026 midterm election results from the night before, and gave his perspective on why the Democratic Party had such banner results across the nation. Barnes chalked up the widespread Democratic victories to national frustrations with President Donald Trump’s administration. “Donald Trump crisscrossed primarily the Southeast and Midwest, and told the crowds that were listening, ‘Vote like I'm on the ballot,’” he said. “And they did.” Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms was elected as Georgia’s first Democratic mayor in over two decades since Barnes left office, and became the first Black woman to be elected governor of any state. Barnes expressed optimism about Bottoms’ future as governor, noting she will be Georgia’s first governor since 1966 to not come through the Georgia General Assembly. “I think it's going to be a learning curve for her,”

McBath secures another term representing Georgia’s 6th District

Rep. Lucy McBath, D-Marietta, secured another two-year term Tuesday evening against Republican challenger Kevin Martin. The Associated Press called the race for McBath around 7:30 P.M. At that time, McBath led Martin 84.3% to 15.7%, according to unofficial results from the Associated Press. Results are not official until they are certified by the Cobb Elections Board. The victory didn’t come as a surprise in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District, which covers portions of Cobb, Douglas, Fayette and Fulton counties. The district heavily favors Democrats, according to Cook’s Political Report. McBath did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Martin, a controller from Smyrna, also did not respond immediately to a request for comment. A gun control advocate, McBath first ran for Congress in 2018, ousting Republican incumbent Karen Handel. When Republicans redrew electoral districts following the 2020 Census, McBath emerged victorious from a competitive primary against Democratic House Rep. Carolyn Bordeaux. When the district was redrawn again to comply with a court order that found the map unfairly diluted the votes of African-Americans, McBath shifted to the current map. She briefly considered running in the crowded Democratic primary for governor, but suspended her exploratory committee last year due to her

Voters veto Mableton redevelopment powers

Mableton voters shot down a ballot measure which would give the city redevelopment powers under Georgia’s Redevelopment Law in Tuesday’s election. The Mableton measure failed with 51.98% of voters, 14,933 ballots, siding against redevelopment powers and 48.02%, 14,796 ballots, cast in its favor, according to unofficial results. Results are not official until certified by the Cobb Board of Elections on Nov. 9. Redevelopment powers would allow the city to carry out community redevelopment, create tax allocation districts (TADs) and issue tax allocation bonds to boost redevelopment. TADs work by freezing property values inside a determined district at a base level. As developers then build developments, increasing property values, tax revenue above the base goes into a fund where it is used to repay bonds or fund public improvements. Once the cost of the redevelopment is fully paid, the TAD ends and all tax revenue is returned to the city. Mayor Michael Owens previously told the Journal redevelopment areas could include the Six Flags and I-20 gateway area and Floyd Road commercial strips. In a statement, Owens recognized the choice of voters not to grant the Mableton City Council redevelopment powers. “While this tool would have allowed our city to implement

Powder Springs approves development with 251 apartments, 24 townhomes

The Powder Springs City Council unanimously approved a development with 251 apartments and 24 townhomes during this week's council meeting. The development, proposed by Wood Partners, sits on 14.65 acres at the intersection of Lewis and Oglesby roads, near C.H. James Parkway. Kenneth Wood with Planners and Engineers Collaborative, representing the project, said the developers met with nearby residents to help shape the plan and decreased apartment height. Plans for the development include two separate residential areas. One side of the property is set to hold 251 multi-family units in four four-story buildings, with 5,200 square feet of amenity space, including a pool. The other half of the property will have 24 two-story townhomes. Between both residential areas, the proposal includes a 17,000-square-foot public park. For the apartment units, 384-parking spaces are proposed. Each townhome would have a two-car garage with space for two additional cars in each driveway. Designs for the property, which backs up to the nearby Springbrooke Estates subdivision, includes a 30-foot landscape buffer, as well as a six-foot fence. A natural tree buffer along a creek, which bisects the property, is included. The development requires a homeowners association. The council approved the development with 13 stipulations,
