Atlanta native Eddie Meredith challenges Mayor Dickens in re-election bid
ATLANTA - Eddie Meredith, an Atlanta native, is one of three candidates looking to unseat incumbent Mayor Andre Dickens in the upcoming election. Meredith said he entered the race because he wants to bring change to the city he calls home.
"I grew up in the fourth ward community and I grew up in church," Meredith said.
"This is my city. I represent it wherever I go," he added.
"My first 90 days will close the wage gap and implement a program of 25000 affordable homes. I would say the current administration has restricted affordable homes. My administration would really have affordable homes," Meredith said.
