For Solomon, who also resides in District 35, this candidacy is deeply personal. For seven years, she dedicated her career to telling the real stories of her neighbors and fighting for opportunities that uplift families. As a journalist at a local Atlanta television news station, she worked to shine a light on resilience and progress rather than reducing communities to headlines of violence.
Solomon’s slogan for her campaign is “Our Story. Our History. Our Future,” echoing a platform meant to uplift the district she seeks to represent.
The South Carolina native, who has lived in Atlanta since 2018, is also a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. She has also served in leadership roles in the corporate sector and nonprofit advocacy, experiences that have prepared her to bring people together and create solutions.- Supporting small businesses by expanding access to resources and opportunities for local entrepreneurs. Creating pathways for economic mobility through better job training, educational programs, and initiatives to increase literacy for all ages.
- Improving infrastructure, including transportation, broadband access, and public resources that families rely on.
- Ensuring homes remain within reach for working families while protecting neighborhoods from private equity firms that seek to buy up land and displace local residents.
