Building Opportunity & Strengthening Community
Under the joint leadership of Mayor Sandra Vincent and the McDonough City Council, Thomas has been instrumental in initiatives that uplift residents and strengthen the city’s infrastructure.
Through a partnership with The Goodwill Career Center, the city hosted job fairs that directly connected McDonough residents with local employers — a tangible effort to tackle unemployment and expand opportunity.
She also helped organize the “Know Your Rights” seminar, educating citizens on safe and informed interactions with law enforcement — a move that reinforced transparency and trust between residents and police.

“Stockbridge is where community connects.” Mayor Anthony S. Ford returns to that mantra often—part credo, part operating system—as the city sprints through a period of rapid growth: a paid-off amphitheater, new neighborhoods and restaurants, a police substation coming to Bridges at Jodeco, and a seat at the table for an I-75 high-speed rail corridor that could redraw South Metro mobility.

But in a season of ribbon cuttings and regional vision, one headline has shadowed the momentum: claims of $32 million in city mismanagement. In an extended conversation with Game Changers, Ford laid out what happened, what changed, and what’s next.
