Why I’m Running

My name is Dontaye Carter, and I’m running for Mayor of Sandy Springs because I believe that integrity and transparency in our city government matter.

As a journalist, I’ve traveled across the entire United States, and I can say with absolute certainty that there’s nowhere else I’d rather work, live, and raise children. My wife and I have built a life, a family, and our own successful businesses here. We love this community and everything it has to offer, but I want more for the people of Sandy Springs. 

I want to live in a city where the leadership reflects the diversity of our growing population. A city that is affordable for our first responders, teachers, and working families. A city that prioritizes integrity and transparency in government. 

My experience is wide ranging, but the thing that ties it all together is that I listen to people and find a way to tell their stories and make their voices heard. This is what I did every day as a journalist, in my work with the District Attorney, and in my own business as a public relations and media professional.  

And as the next Mayor of Sandy Springs, I will do just that — listen to the people and give everyone a voice.
