Neighbor Explains Her Support Of Murray's Brookhaven Mayoral Campaign

A neighbor of Brookhaven mayoral candidate Sandy Murray explains her decision to support the candidate, in the latest entry into The Forum.


Are you ready to hear the words “Mayor Murray” a lot more? I am, because I want our first Mayor to be a person of integrity, and that person is my neighbor Sandy Murray.

Anyone about to become Mayor will have their naysayers, but what Sandy’s detractors don’t understand is that she has never been against the City; Sandy had concerns about the rush to create Brookhaven without the proper planning.

I’ve known Sandy for years. I know that she cares deeply about our community. She is the current President of the Ashford Alliance and has done outstanding work with the Brookhaven Peachtree Community Association. She’s been a volunteer for the Brookhaven Arts Alliance, Taste of Brookhaven, Brookhaven Arts Festival, and National Night Out at Blackburn Park. That’s quite an impressive record of community service. Sandy is also an active member of Rotary, whose motto is “Service Above Self.”

Sandy Murray’s vision of Brookhaven includes a top-notch police force so that our streets and our neighborhoods are safe and a transparent and open government that doesn’t do deals behind closed doors. Sandy also wants to make sure that tax dollars collected in Brookhaven are spent HERE in Brookhaven.

So let the naysayers grumble all they’d like. Tomorrow, I’m voting Sandy for Mayor. Would you join me in supporting Mayor Murray?
