Atlanta City Council President Ceasar Mitchell made a visit to Triumph the Church and Kingdom of God in Christ Tuesday September 13, 2016 to speak with the Peoplestown Neighborhood Association in regards to areas of concern they had in their community and offered suggestions on how he would fix them if he was elected as the next mayor of Atlanta. Mitchell addressed areas of concern such as code enforcement, education for the youth, entrepreneurship, homelessness, traffic, and more.
Mitchell currently presides over all Council meetings and votes in the case of a tie vote by the 15 council members, makes council committee appointments, and would exercise all powers as mayor should that office become vacant or the mayor is unable to fulfill his role.
