  • He Was The Chairman For Fulton County For 11 Years, What's Next?

    He Was The Chairman For Fulton County For 11 Years, What's Next?
    May 22 2022
    https://www.PopcornandPolitics.com Dr. John Eaves is the former Chairman of Fulton County, the largest county in Georgia. He is the only candidate in the race with a proven record of increasing voter access, including creating Soul to the Polls and expanding early voting and the number of precincts in Fulton County.

    He also oversaw the greatest economic growth and job creation in Fulton’s history by supporting Black and women-owned business, spearheaded the public-private partnership to restore Grady Memorial Hospital, worked with Rev. Raphael Warnock to expunge the records of 1,000 innocent Georgians to get jobs.

    Dr. Eaves attended Morehouse College, has a Master’s from Yale, a Ph.D. from the Univ. of South Carolina, and is a two-time Fulbright Scholar. He is a small business owner and an esteemed professor at Spelman College. He lives in Atlanta and has two children, who attend Duke University and North Carolina A&T University.
    Dr. Eaves is running for Secretary of State because we need a strong, experienced leader to protect our vote.
    If elected, he will fight to expand access to the ballot box, particularly for underserved communities, and protect people of color and young people from being purged from voter rolls. He will also stimulate the economy by awarding state contracts to minority, women, and veteran owned businesses.
    If elected, he will be the first Black Secretary of State elected in the South.
