Let's raise the bar.
Forsyth County should work for everyone who lives here—not just the people funding the campaigns.

Rooted in North Georgia. Running for all of us.
Shuchita Patel has called this community home for 30 years. She's raising her three kids here, building her career here, and watching—like a lot of us—as this county grows faster than its government is keeping up.
She's running for Commissioner because she knows how to read a budget, hold the line on accountability, and ask the questions that have gone unasked for too long.
A weekly video series breaking down how Forsyth County actually works.
County Governing for Dummies
Property taxes. Rezoning. Who's actually deciding what gets built next door. Most of local government happens in rooms nobody's watching, using words nobody explained. I'm fixing that—one short video at a time, every Monday this summer.
New episode every week through the fall. Catch up, or jump in wherever we are.
Transparency
What a public servant should actually look like. Right now, you don't know who your commissioner is meeting with, or who's funding their campaign while they vote on what gets built next door.
That changes with me. You should always know where your money is going and who your commissioner is talking to.
Development Standards
What we require of developers who want to profit off Forsyth County. This county has been rezoned faster than its roads, schools, and green space can absorb—not because growth is bad, but because the standards we've set are too low.
Developers who want to build here should have to show their work first. That's not radical. That's the bar.
Tree Canopy Preservation
What we protect for the long run. Forsyth County has natural assets—Sawnee Mountain, the Etowah River corridor, our trails, our tree canopy—that once gone, do not come back. We are approving their replacement with subdivisions and strip malls at a rate that should alarm every resident who has watched this county change.
This county is beautiful. We are choosing, one approval at a time, to pave over it. I intend to be the vote that says no.
