‘I’m endorsing her’: Atlanta mayor backs Kamala Harris as Democratic presidential nominee

“So as we go into this convention, it’s about how Kamala Harris is going to be the next president of the United States. Her policies and her demonstrated record of leading this country and working well with cities like ours,” said Dickens.

Dickens said federal grants under the Biden-Harris administration have allowed Atlanta to extend the Beltline, make necessary improvements at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and reduce crime throughout the city.

“It’s just been a tremendous help to have that type of relationship with the White House and President Biden has been tremendous to the city of Atlanta,” Dickens said.
