Campaign website

King's campaign website stated the following:

Rejuvenate Atlanta
Now, more than ever, we deserve effective coalition-building leadership committed to making sure that our City prospers. This philosophy is the driving force behind my candidacy and my willingness to serve our great City.

  • Improve public safety by putting more cops on the beat and creating incentives to retain and recruit more fire and police personnel.
  • Partner with the Atlanta School Board to improve education and create effective After-school Programs to help combat adolescent crime and truancy.
  • Advocate for better practices in spending at City Hall and work to implement a new finance accountability structure.
  • Implement technology efficiencies to provide more transparency in government.
  • Create new jobs and grow the economy by supporting tax incentives and reducing bureaucracy for small businesses.
  • Make sure City Hall works for you by sweeping streets, enforcing codes and maintaining clean, safe parks.
  • Support regional transportation alternatives and secure more funding for MARTA, walking/bike trails and sidewalks.
  • Work to protect human rights and ensure all people are treated with dignity and respect.
  • Always listen and remain accessible to all Atlantans. Every resident deserves a city that works for them.[3]
—Rebecca King's campaign website (2021)[4]

2017

King's campaign website included the following themes for 2017:

My volunteer service to Livable Buckhead, Inc., the Buckhead Condo Alliance and most recently, to the North Buckhead Civic Association has helped me realize that Buckhead needs more active engagement with Atlanta City Government and the City Council, and more visibility and accountability within our neighborhoods. This is why I am running for my district’s seat on the Atlanta City Council.

My concern for preserving the quality of life in Buckhead as it expands will mean actively addressing the challenges of traffic congestion, public safety, construction, and monitoring the development of Park 400. My focus will be on engaging every Buckhead neighborhood so each remains a financially strong, safe, and sought-after place for business, family and social life, and for education. Traffic bottlenecks, potholes, water meters without covers, and broken or overgrown sidewalks are the unfortunate byproducts of development and infrastructure neglect. As a runner whose exercise route puts me in direct contact with these eyesores and inconveniences, I realize when left unaddressed, these challenges slowly erode the quality of life in our district. As the Beltline energizes Atlanta’s core, I’ll work to see that Buckhead continues to attract the nation’s top corporations, retailers, restaurants, and residential developers because it is safe, well maintained, pedestrian friendly with nature paths, parks and trails, connected to public transportation, and most of all, is actively and visibly represented on Atlanta’s City Council. Atlantans recently voted to self-tax to improve transportation; to me, this lays the foundation for leadership that is ready to engage residents in creating viable solutions for managing Buckhead development. I will be that kind of representative.[5][3]
