The rapper, actor, entrepreneur and activist joins the new Atlanta Mayor’s transition team alongside Clifford ?T.I.? Harris who was also quite vocal during the mayoral race.
Other’s on the team include the CEO and Chairman of UPS, the CEO of Delta Airlines Inc., an APS school board member, Senator Jason Carter, and, artist, activist and businessman, Ron Clark from the Ron Clark Academy and Raphael Warnock from the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church.
The group will help Bottoms carry out her platform of affordable housing, overhauling the city hall corruption scandal and improving education and of course she wanted the best and the brightest the city had to offer.
?I am grateful to announce this 38-strong transition team. It represents a tremendous amount of diversity and depth, and really the best and the brightest in the city of Atlanta,? Bottoms said during the announcement.
I’ve always told Killer Mike he was destined for politics and it’s great to see him taking the step in that direction.
Salute to Mike, Tip and everyone involved in assisting Mayor Bottoms with her goals for the city!
