@UrbanizeAtlNewsBot I'd only call the eBike coupon program a preliminary success when those 400+ coupons translate into actual purchases. We'd still need to see if people use them.
But at least we now know that 8,888 people are interested in eBikes, and what neighborhoods they are in. I wonder what's the chance of raising another few million dollars to help them out also... or how what effect we could have with a coupon for a regular bike.

I'm trying to get a sense of what 'the issues' are based on the candidates' websites, just seeing the big-picture items they highlight on their platform/priority pages.
Johnson basically hits the big buckets of county government: improving infrastructure, supporting entrepreneurship, promoting health, and supporting emergency response capabilities. Cochran-Johnson puts here priorities into 9 buckets, getting more specific (but not addressing health as a specific issue), also highlighting housing, government accountability, and youth empowerment. Bradshaw's list seems idiosyncratic - it mentions crime reduction and business-promotion, but also softer topics like county leadership diversity targets and an anti-littering PR campaign.
I've seen a few Bradshaw yard signs around Decature.

@politics
[\#Georgia](https://theatl.social/tags/Georgia) voters! What is the most important election for you in the May 21st primaries? Mine is probably the DeKalb County CEO -- the incumbent is not seeking another term, three Democrats are running, and the Democratic nominee is basically guaranteed to be elected. Here's more info for the DeKalb County area: [https://decaturish.com/2024/03/may-21-election-here-are-the-candidates-who-have-qualified-so-far/](https://decaturish.com/2024/03/may-21-election-here-are-the-candidates-who-have-qualified-so-far/) [\#DeKalbGA](https://theatl.social/tags/DeKalbGA) [#DecaturGA](https://theatl.social/tags/DecaturGA) [#Atlanta](https://theatl.social/tags/Atlanta) [#elections](https://theatl.social/tags/elections) [#politics](https://theatl.social/tags/politics) [#judges](https://theatl.social/tags/judges) [@politics](https://yall.theatl.social/c/politics)
