Entrepreneur and business owner Vicki Horton announces her candidacy for Johns Creek City Council Post 3.
“As a young and growing city, Johns Creek is at a turning point. It needs new leadership and a cool and steady head to help the city move forward,” said Horton.
“I have over 25 years of experience working in Economic Development, bringing communities, counties, states and private sector together to benefit the people. I vow to use my broad experience to help our city as YOUR city council member, with honor and integrity."
Traffic congestion is at an all-time high, green spaces are disappearing, and new developments are spreading rapidly. We want our community to grow consistently with our shared vision without compromising sustainability and affordability. We need to preserve our residential character and plan for sustainable growth.

As a City Council member, I will develop solutions for responsible growth that will continue to support the prosperity of Johns Creek. We will invest in growth that the city can absorb and sustain in the long run and I’ll oppose projects I believe will harm our city’s future.

As an economic development consultant, I help communities find solutions that work for businesses as well as residents because I always adhere to best practices. My highest priority will be to ensure that the City Council frequently requests, receives and acts on input from the residents of Johns Creek. Community members should have an opportunity to impact decision making. I will listen to our community first and then develop the best plan of action based on a unified vision for Johns Creek.

No mention that John Bradberry is also running for Post 3?
...or Trey Holladay or Mark Venco. (oh, that;s because this is an article about Vicki's candidacy, not those other 3 guys)
Vicki Horton sent her announcement to the JCP, before any of the other candidates. John Bradberry's announcement & Trey Holladay's are now on the JCP.
Why do so many people post anonymously????? Sheesh! What are you afraid of?????????
How do we know someone posting under a "name" is not just using a fake name, does that make their comment any more valid then anybody else?
