Source: Sen. Fort Run for Council Prez Unlikely
A source familiar with the matter tells Atlanta Progressive News that State Sen. Vincent Fort (D-Atlanta) is unlikely to run for Atlanta City Council President.
There are many reasons, the source said, adding that Fort had not made a final decision as of yet while he is weighing other factors. One factor includes Fort’s not wanting to give up his ability to be effective in the State Senate, where he was able to secure millions of dollars for local colleges in recent years.
