The Georgia Record was relaunched in June of 2021 and has been extremely successful fighting corruption in the state named after King George of England. The original paper was started in 1899 and published into the early 20th century.
In 2020, CDM (Creative Destruction Media) acquired Johns Creek Post and brought back The Georgia Record to better represent the state rather than just Johns Creek News.
Here are my thoughts regarding that question -
DESCRIBE YOUR DAY JOB, AND WHAT SKILL SET YOU BRING TO THE DAIS.
For the past 20 years I have assisted business owners and families in their financial decision making process. Through that experience I have gained an ability to understand how to ask questions and actively listen in order to understand what is both urgent and important to all parties involved. The financial decision making process for small business owners and families alike can be emotionally and financially driven. I believe it is important to be able to effectively communicate a strategy of how to deploy income and assets in a manner which will satisfy short term short objectives as well as long term success for future generations.
The same principles which I have gained as a Financial Planner can be applied to the role of a Johns Creek City Council member. It is important to ask a lot of questions in order to understand the desires of the residents of Johns Creek today and for generations to come. Once that vision is established it is important to be able to effectively communicate to fellow council members in order to gain a consensus for the vision. As a body it is the Councils responsibility to efficiently deploy the available resources to meet the objectives for today and tomorrow.

I'd love to gain your vote in the Johns Creek City Council Special Election for Post 2
Thank you for your answer Todd. So sorry you missed the deadline, and happy you are able to contribute.
For Post 2, it would be crazy to elect Todd Burkhalter to serve for only one council meeting in December. I'm voting for Chris Coughlin so he can serve in December and continue right on for 4 years.
