Dear Friends,
Many of you have played an important part in nurturing my personal and professional development here in Atlanta, so I am enthusiastic to share this exciting news.
I’m pleased to announce that I will be joining the staff of U.S. Representative Larry Kissell (D-NC), and will be moving to Washington, DC on June 1st to work in his congressional office. I’m elated to join Congressman Kissell’s team, and look forward to contributing to our democracy on the federal level.
While I am thrilled to embark upon this new political venture, this transition is bittersweet. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here in Atlanta, and it has been an honor to serve the people of Georgia. I will always treasure the amazing friends, teachers, leaders, mentors, lessons I have learned and memories I have made throughout this leg of my journey.
Thank you all in advance for your prayers and support as I begin this new chapter in our nation’s capital. I look forward to continuing my work to advance progressive values, fight systemic oppression & privilege, and empower marginalized communities through the political process, and I hope to stay connected with you throughout this exciting endeavor.
In service,
--- MJB
