Who I'm Running Against
Randall Woodfin (Democrat Party)
Randall Woodfin is the incumbent and he’s been in office 8 years. Crime has risen to an all time high last year over 1,000 people were killed in the last 8 years. We have the lowest number of police officers, the lowest number of city workers and they are underpaid and under appreciated. There has been no transparency under this administration. He often lies.
