Doraville Councilman Announces Re-Election Campaign

DORAVILLE, GA -- Doraville City Councilman Robert Patrick recently announced his plans for re-election to his District 1 seat, which he has held since 2012. Patrick, a proponent of "The Assembly" project, the redevelopment of the Doraville General Motors, said that he is poised to continue city improvements in his next term.

"I’m excited to announce my campaign for re-election! Since assuming office we have made tremendous progress as One Doraville," he said in a statement to Patch. “'The Assembly' project is moving full steam ahead which will ultimately bring over a billion dollars to the region along with hundreds of jobs."

Patrick said that technology has allowed the city to remain an open book to residents and he has plans to do even more.

"We now livestream city council meetings and publish our agendas on the city’s website to improve transparency and accessibility," he said. "Together we have watched the renaissance of 'Flowers Park,' one of Doraville’s treasures for families to congregate and enjoy. This is just a fraction of the progress we are making as a city.”

This year in Doraville, three seats, occupied by Patrick (District 1), Dawn O’Connor (District 2) and Sharon Spangler (District 3) are up for election. The qualifying fee is $252. The election will be held Nov. 7.
