Cobb County 

Hello, I'm <a href="https://electshelia.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Shelia Edwards</a>, but please call me Shelia E. 
 
I'm running to serve as Chairperson of Cobb County's government with a focus on transparency, accountability, fiscal responsibility, and addressing the real issues that affect you and your families’ quality of life. I'm committed to representing the interests and needs of all residents of Cobb and working tirelessly to make our community a better place for everyone. 
 
Living in Cobb for over 30 years has provided me a firsthand understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities facing our county. After my family and I relocated to Cobb in the 1990's, I became deeply involved in our vibrant county, first living in Marietta, and later building my current home in Mableton. These experiences fuel my commitment to making Cobb an even better place to live, work, and thrive. Through my involvement in Cobb, I've earned the trust of our community, emerging as a steadfast advocate for issues affecting our families - from backing sustainable development and opposing efforts to turn our area into a waste dump to advocating for affordable housing, improved infrastructure, and community safety. My involvement has earned me the trust of our community. My commitment and advocacy for our community's well-being have only grown stronger over time. 
 
As I campaign to become the next <a href="https://electshelia.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chairperson for Cobb County</a>, I'm driven by a sincere desire to address the challenges we face, including the heavy threat of triple taxation being imposed by current Cobb office holders who have failed to roll back the millage, attempted to impose a sewer tax, and are advocating for a 30 year transportation tax (totaling $14 billion dollars). Like you, I've witnessed the turmoil within county leadership and recognize the urgent need for change. The citizens of Cobb deserve leadership they can trust, leadership that puts their needs and concerns first, and leadership that will tighten the county's belt first before asking citizens to do more. That's the commitment I bring to the table as your next Chair. 
 
If you share my vision - helping Cobb County to start fresh with a new leader that will unite our community and move us forward - I invite you to join our cause by supporting our campaign through a <a href="https://secure.actblue.com/donate/committee-to-elect-shelia-edwards-2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">donation</a> today. Also, share our information with your contacts and ask them to vote for change in Cobb. Your support will enable us to reach more voters and amplify our message of change and progress, which our county truly deserves. When I win, the true beneficiaries will be the citizens of Cobb County.
Thank you for your consideration as I continue on my journey to serve all citizens of Cobb County as your Chairperson. 
Warmest regards, 
 
Shelia E.

Join Georgia Philharmonic on an interplanetary musical journey as we conclude the 2023/2024 season with Holst’s groundbreaking work, The Planets, accompanied by video and images from NASA and other leading space agencies. 
Holst was inspired by the importance of the planets in Roman and Greek mythology and ultimately composed a work of seven movements, each of which is named after planet of the solar system and its astrological character. Holst described this work as a “series of mood pictures” each evoking a different idea and emotion: Mars—the destruction of war; Jupiter—jollity and patriotism; Venus—peace; Mercury—fluidity and volatility; Saturn—the wisdom of old age; Neptune—infinity of space; and Uranus—the magic of the cosmos. Used as inspiration for the soundtrack to popular films such as Star Wars, this is a season finale you won’t want to miss!
