Hello L. David,
As we head into April, I hope you and your loved ones enjoy more outdoor activities while fending off the pollen.
March was a busy month. I enjoyed the opportunity to engage with residents in District 3 to share updates, accomplishments, and the Board of Commissioners' notice of intent to call for a transit referendum. A special thanks to all residents who joined in person and watched the town halls on Facebook. You can watch the March 11 town hall on Facebook if you missed the town halls.
I, alongside Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson, also had the privilege of joining Congresswoman Lucy McBath as she hosted a Community Violence Intervention & Prevention Initiative Grant Briefing. We gained valuable information on the grant funded through the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs.

Happy 101 Birthday to Mr. James Davis!

Lastly, before March closed out, I enjoyed celebrating the 101st birthday of WWII Veteran and Snellville resident Mr. James Davis. His wisdom and service to our country have helped make the world and Gwinnett a better place.
Please join me in wishing him a happy belated birthday!
