| Collapse all
- Melody Bray is an advocate for the less fortunate, dedicated community leader, and hard-working small business owner who loves our city but knows we can do better. As a long term Atlanta resident, Melody has seen what happens when our politicians are disconnected from the people they are supposed to serve. She has also seen firsthand the change that can happen when we show up together and fight to make our communities a better place. She is running to be your State Senator because we need active and thoughtful leaders who are willing to listen, innovate, and implement practical solutions that will make metro Atlanta a place where everyone has an opportunity to thrive.
- Let’s face it: A few issues listed on a website will never encompass all the issues that a Senator encounters. We can talk about issues, but it’s also important to know how elected officials approach their decisions. Melody believes we should be judged based on how we show up for the most marginalized people in our community. When we implement inclusive policies to help the most vulnerable in our city, we all win.
- We all feel that metro Atlanta is at a tipping point. The decisions we make today will define our city’s future. We need comprehensive and practical solutions that pave the way for our bright future - not just for some Atlantans, but for all.
Education:While representing school boards and teachers in court, Melody learned that the way we approach education in Georgia is not setting up our students and teachers for success. Melody seeks to fully fund our education system and believes that educational achievement happens when communities, governments, and businesses come together to support both the child in the classroom and the families in their neighborhoods.
