Contact Our Legislators
We need to tell our legislators to pass two bills in the Georgia General Assembly, which will give us the right to vote for a referendum for Buckhead cityhood in November 2022!
HB 854 was introduced by Representative Todd Jones, and SB 324 was introduced by Senators Brandon Beach, Burt Jones, Greg Dolezal, Randy Robertson, and other legislators. The legislature must pass one of these bills by a majority vote in both chambers and get the bill signed by the Governor. Once signed, via a referendum, we will be given the right to vote for the de-annexation from Atlanta and the formation of Buckhead City in November 2022.
Our bill sponsors, legislators supporting Buckhead's vote, and Governor Kemp are being bombarded with outside money, emails, and calls from non-Buckhead voters. We need to step up now and let our voices be heard until our bills have been passed and signed. If you support Buckhead City but don't live here, you can also help.
Please reach out to offer support and tell them to vote YES on these bills! Below you will find a list with key contact information for legislators and Governor Kemp. We have also included a sample message.

Subject: Buckhead Cityhood: Give us the Right to Vote!
Dear Senator or Representative,
I am a Buckhead resident. I am a supporter of Buckhead's de-annexation and cityhood.
I want to encourage you to pass SB 324 and HB 854 and send the bills to Governor Kemp for signing. We want the opportunity to vote for the future of our community, and we want our families to be safe.
Buckhead has been a separate entity for 130 years and has a distinct identity. The experiment of annexation into the city of Atlanta was a failure: Atlanta has taken Buckhead's tax dollars at a rate of $7 in for every $1 return in city services. Atlanta hasn't provided a return on its Tsplost Renew Atlanta promises. It has overspent on administration and is famous for corruption headlines. Our infrastructure is crumbling.
Atlanta is going against Buckhead's zoning. The tree canopy will be decimated, the character of the historic neighborhood destroyed, and traffic will be further gridlocked.
The streets of Buckhead are unsafe, with endless stories of violent crime, like murders, shootings, carjackings, and robberies. We don't feel safe going for a walk, getting groceries or gas, or dining out. Our police officers are hardworking but are understaffed, unsupported, and outmatched. We want a police force that truly partners with our small businesses and residential neighborhoods.
A safer Buckhead City is better for nearby cities and the whole state of Georgia. Buckhead and Georgia will return to a place that attracts out-of-state business, leisure travelers, and big sporting events and tradeshows.
We are asking the legislature to pass a majority vote on SB 324 and HB 854. We understand that big-money donors and outside constituents are pressuring you to vote against these bills, but we beg you to stand firm. We humbly ask that Buckhead constituents get the right to vote for their destiny and the safety of their loved ones.
A new Buckhead City is the only viable future and the best one for our community and the state of Georgia.
Respectfully,
YOUR NAME
