Congratulations to Hattie Portis-Jones — Fairburn’s New Standard of Leadership
Let’s give credit where it’s due. When you’ve put in the work, built the credibility, and earned the respect of your city — that’s not luck. That’s leadership.
And today, the City of Fairburn, Georgia, gets to call Hattie Portis-Jones its new Mayor — a woman who spent years doing the real work long before the title ever caught up to her.
A Legacy Built, Not Borrowed
While some talk about change, Hattie has lived it. From her years as a City Council Member to serving as Mayor Pro-Tem, she’s been about progress — not politics. She’s helped move Fairburn from being a city on the map to a community with a mission.
She’s worked on:
Revitalizing Downtown Fairburn into a destination worth talking about.
Advocating for housing that builds neighborhoods, not just developments.
Championing economic growth that attracts business without sacrificing community.
Building partnerships across South Fulton to make sure Fairburn isn’t left behind in Atlanta’s expansion wave.
That’s what real leadership looks like — results, not rhetoric.
What Hattie’s Mayorship Means for Fairburn
Leadership sets the tone. Fairburn just elected a mayor who’s poised, prepared, and purposeful.
Hattie Portis-Jones represents:
Grace under pressure. She listens first, leads second, and executes always.
Experience that matters. She’s seen what works and what doesn’t — and she’s not guessing her way forward.
Community-first thinking. Every decision, every initiative, every partnership — all centered on people.
Fairburn didn’t just elect a mayor; it elevated a mindset.
A Message to Mayor Portis-Jones
Madam Mayor, congratulations. You’ve set the example for what leadership should look like — consistent, classy, and community-driven. Your rise isn’t just a win for Fairburn — it’s a win for South Fulton. Because when Fairburn leads with vision, every city around it levels up.
A Message to the Region
South Fulton, take notes. This is how progress looks — when preparation meets purpose. It’s time for every city — East Point, College Park, Palmetto, Union City, Chattahoochee Hills, and the City of South Fulton — to step in tune with that same rhythm of growth and grace.
Leadership like this doesn’t just represent a title; it represents a standard.
