Move statewide non-partisan judicial and school board elections to the date of the General Election.
More creative efforts to support the arts in Gwinnett.
Advancement and expansion of city historical societies.
Require establishments that serve alcoholic beverages to halt sales of such products at 1 a.m., and close by 2 a.m.
Require the Georgia Legislature to meet only once every two years.
Eliminate single-use plastic packaging and straws in Gwinnett and require instead the use of paper products.
Gwinnett planners to encourage condos and townhouses instead of apartments.
County-wide microtransit services.
