Elect DeRito to Alpharetta City Council - Credentials Outlined

Dear Alpharetta Friends and Neighbors:

The election is right around the corner. In just about one week, if not during Early Voting, you will decide who will represent you on the City Council - Post 1 position. This election is critical because the decisions the Council makes over the next four years will set the course for Alpharetta's future. With the upcoming challenges on the horizon, which range from; protecting our home values, to ensuring your safety, to strengthening Alpharetta's position as an economic leader in the region; you will require that your next City Council person possess the credentials to help the city successfully chart its direction.

You will make that decision.
