Dunwoody City Council
member Lynn Deutsch
announced her candidacy
for mayor of Dunwoody
July 25.
“I have had the honor
of being a part of building
a strong city,” Deutsch
said. “I’m now ready to
serve Dunwoody in a new
capacity, to build on our
strengths and tackle our
challenges.”
The announcement
comes after current
Dunwoody Mayor Denis
Shortal’s announced at the
city’s 10th annual State of
the City April 11 that he will
not seek reelection, stating
he wants to spend more time
with this family. His last day
as mayor will be Dec. 31.
Deutsch has served on
Dunwoody’s city council
since 2011 and as mayor
pro-tem since 2017. She
has also served on the
Dunwoody Planning
Commission, the Dunwoody
Homeowners Association
and her neighborhood
Women’s Club. She has
lived in Dunwoody for 30
years.
“I have been here as it
has evolved from a sleepy
suburb to an independent
busy city,” she said. “I
know how Dunwoody
residents’ quality of life
has been impacted by this
transition. [For a] mayor,
every city project, every
potential development, and
even every activity will be
evaluated through a prism of
quality of life.”
If elected mayor,
Deutsch said her first order
of business would be to
meet with appointed leaders
and elected officials. “I
intend to strengthen the
relationships we have
with the school system,
the county, GDOT
[Georgia Department of
Transportation], state
legislature and the federal
government,” Deutsch
said. “Developing strong
partnerships will result in
the best outcomes for our
residents.”
In her announcement,
Deutsch praises Dun-
woody’s accomplishments
and added, “Yet, there is
much more work to be
done.”
“My main priority is
to ensure Dunwoody’s
quality of life remains high
and then to improve that,”
Deutsch said. “We have
to focus on the amenities
we have and don’t have in
the city and we have to be
concerned about negative
impacts of projects that
could do harm to our city. I
want Dunwoody to be a city
where 8-year-old children
and 80-year-old adults can
thrive. If this happens, it
means that Dunwoody
truly becomes a place for
everyone.”
