Hello, I’m Amber Connor. Let me share how I plan to shape a stronger future for Atlanta.
As your Atlanta City Council Member for Post 3 At Large, I will work for you to make our city the best it can be. I invite you to learn more about me, my platform, and my priorities.
My Top Priorities
-
#1 Public Safety
I am your advocate for effective policing reforms, crime prevention strategies, victim advocacy, and transparency within the justice system.
-
#2 Property Taxes
I am committed to combatting extreme property tax hikes forcing Atlanta residents out of their homes by implementing fair assessments that reflect your property's true value .
-
#3 Education
I am your champion for more parental involvement with curriculum decisions, equal access to quality education for every child, and the return of teaching trade skills in the Atlanta Public School System.
I have experienced the impact of crime firsthand when my home was targeted during a holiday celebration, a night meant for peace and family.
I’ve dedicated many hours in the courtroom standing up for victims of crime. Joining court watch has deepened my understanding of our judicial system and strengthened my commitment to supporting those impacted by crime.
Growing up in public housing showed me firsthand how vital affordable housing is to a family. Today, I see renters facing the same challenges as well as home owners as rising property taxes put their homes at risk. It is crucial we take actions to prevent these increases.
Why I deserve your vote.

City Council Post 3 Agenda
Continued Training for Public Safety
Proper training for our police officers and funding for our firefighters are paramount for the security of Atlanta residents and their property. It is important that our safety officers are members of our community who understand our diversity and respect our norms and values. A letter written to our leaders concerning the safety of our our youth is posted below.
Lower Residential Property Tax Rates
Lowering and capping the rate allows home owners the ability to set a realistic budget in order to pay property taxes, especially when the amount is raised. Constituents can push back on the increases by unifying their voice and letting their council members, commissioners, and state representative know what is expected. Our first letter written concerning property taxes is posted below.
