  • I’m proud to support Deanna for Decatur City Commissioner District 2. I was fortunate to get to know Deanna when she stepped up as one of the new leaders to continue the tradition of the Madison Ave Soapbox Derby in 2021. Much like the Derby, I feel Decatur is ready for new leadership and fresh ideas. Deanna is a great listener who will help put ideas into action. Her energy and positive attitude is contagious.

  • I met Deanna while working on the Oakhurst Elementary school auction committee during her tenure as Oakhurst's PTA President. Deanna’s enthusiasm for everything she does and puts her mind to is infectious. She makes you want to join up, pitch in, give back, and generally be a good neighbor - because she does all of these things in a way that is inspirational and inclusive and effortless. Deanna is tenacious, driven, kind, and one of the most hard-working, community-minded people I’ve ever met. I know Deanna will be an incredible city commissioner and lead with efficiency, transparency, grace, and always for good of the whole. She is a ray of human sunshine!

  • Deanna is a beacon - she draws people together to collaborate and take action but she also guides and enables others to create good work beyond the reach of her sweeping rays. Everything she touches she enriches and everyone she meets leaves knowing they are community.
