This was a really tough one.
Met @JenniferIde1 when I joined @BOEAPS and she chaired the @APSMorningside governance team.
These last four years, she’s been an incredible colleague, thoughtful policymaker, ardent advocate for her constituents. Very grateful for all of that.
Just in: Atlanta City Councilwoman Jennifer Ide isn't running for a second term this year. She's the third sitting council member who is not seeking reelection this year. ajc.com/news/atlanta-news/at…

Something that Georgia needs to discuss in the next days and weeks: There’s a way to keep the late John Lewis in Congress. Remove the figure of Alexander Stephens, the Confederate leader, from National Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol. Replace him with John Lewis.
John Lewis, civil rights hero, Georgia congressman, dies at 80. The @AJC obit: ajc.com/news/john-lewis-civi…
