2021 Candidate Questionnaire

Between the worsening eviction crisis, rising rents, and the continuing displacement of long-term residents in gentrifying areas, it is urgent that housing issues remain at the top of Atlanta’s political agenda.

HJL put together a questionnaire for Atlanta mayoral and city council candidates to measure their beliefs about a variety of housing policies, including rent control, eviction expungement and the creation of new affordable housing.

The questionnaire was sent to 62 of the 70 candidates running for mayor and city council.  HJL did not solicit responses from the candidates for districts 2, 7 and 8, who are running uncontested. No contact information could be found for five candidates. 45 candidates submitted responses.

We are thrilled to provide this important resource to Atlanta voters as they help shape the next four years of the city’s future.
