The Victory Fund
"Joan’s relationships, public service and professional experience are impressive, and her campaign has demonstrated the strength and viability to be victorious in the July 20 primary, and, of course, again November 2. It’s an added bonus that she would be the first openly gay person to serve on the Fulton County Commission, though her inclusive, bridge-building style will be an asset to everyone."
