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.
