Atlanta Journal opinion piece about Lucy McBeth's district: Dunwoody, Georgia
REPUBLICANS ARE LOSING THEIR HOLD AND THEY ARE PISSED!
OPINION: Should we now call it the city of Demwoody?
Through the years, one thing was a given: Dunwoody was Republican — whether it be the current city version or back when it was just a state of mind.
Dunwoody was the Republican refuge in Democratic DeKalb County, a conservative (with a small “c”) land of tennis and golf and spacious single-family homes with manicured lawns. All represented by politicians with R’s after their names.But the past few years have been tough on Dunwoody’s R pols. Just ask longtime legislator Fran Millar.
Two years ago, the area had U.S. Rep. Karen Handel, state Rep. Tom Taylor, and Millar, a state senator. All from the GOP.Gone, gone, gone.Now, as a result of last week's voting, there's another signpost along the way — Lynn Deutsch, a public supporter of Democratic-darling John Ossoff, is the mayor-elect.And Joe Seconder, who founded the Perimeter Progressives in reaction to Donald’s Trump’s election and is often seen around town in biking Spandex, has won a City Council seat by beating a candidate who had the support of the current mayor and council.
