Athens mayoral candidate Glenn Stegall proved on Thursday that he is serious about his campaign to bring positive change to Athens by officially qualifying for the race. This is a major benchmark for the campaign, and it reflects the momentum behind the grassroots movement to elect Stegall.
Glenn’s campaign has been actively reaching out to the citizens of Athens for weeks, inviting them to share their ideas for Athens’ future and starting a constructive conversation within the community about how to move Athens forward. “Effective leadership begins with effective communication,” Glenn said, emphasizing the benefits of his hands-on approach to winning the support of the people of Athens. “When we’re out in the community talking to people, you get a sense of what people want and need, and you get a feeling of the excitement that’s building around this campaign. This is only the beginning, and I am excited about where we will go from here.”

Athens mayoral candidate Glenn Stegall is taking an approach to public service that seems to be a lost art in recent political history: listening to the people. Stegall has asked voters to send him their own ideas for how to make Athens a better place to live, learn, and grow. The initiative, called “100 Ideas to Improve Athens,” will be a constructive and cooperative conversation with the citizens of Athens-Clarke County to create a list of 100 suggestions that will positively impact the daily lives of everyday people in the community without straining the city budget. Stegall has pledged to implement all 100 ideas within his first year in office.
Stegall stressed the importance of considering the goals and needs of Athens citizens: “I’m running for mayor because I care about what the people of Athens think. I want people to tell me what their vision is for Athens, and I want to help make their vision a reality.”
