Surrounded by supporters, Paul
declares candidacy for mayor

Council members Tibby De-
Julio, Dianne Fries and Ga
briel Sterling, Paul told the
crowd gathered at Morgan
Falls Overlook Park on April
22 that he would continue
the direction of the city with
an emphasis on communi
ty improvements, lower wa
ter rates, and replacing deteri
orating apartment complexes.
“I’m fully aware that the
person who succeeds Eva
Galambos as mayor is sort
of like coming in after Bear
Bryant,” Paul said, referring
to the legendary University
of Alabama football coach.
“There’s certain shoes that
can’t be filled.”
Though Paul was the first
to announce a candidacy for
mayor, at least two others are
considering a run to succeed Galambos.
City Councilwoman Karen Meinzen-
McEnerny confirmed that she is consid
ering getting into the race. McEnerny
has served as the District 6 City Council
representative since 2006, shortly after
the city incorporated. Her background
is in commercial real estate.
Another potential candidate is Bob
Brown, who owns Red Baron’s Antiques.
Brown also ran for mayor in 2008.
Brown said he is considering a run, but
hasn’t made his candidacy official.
With McEnerny vacating her District
6 seat, there will be an opportunity for
newcomers to put their names into the
mix. Andy Bauman, one of the found
ers of the Sandy Springs Farmers Mar
ket, confirmed he will be running for
the open seat.
The filing deadline for municipal
elections is Aug. 30, according to the
Georgia Secretary of State’s office.
Paul said Galambos encouraged him
to run for the office, and he intends to
mirror her leadership style. He served as
one of the city’s founding council mem
bers from 2005-2009. He is director
of government affairs and public pol
icy practice at Arnall Golden Gregory
LLP, a law firm. Paul is a lobbyist for the
firm’s clients.
The press conference was attended by
a number of business, civic and political
leaders of Sandy Springs.
Fulton County Commissioner Tom
Lowe jokingly likened the event to a cor
onation, as Galambos steps down and
offers her support to Paul.
