Atlanta suburb elects white Republican to city council! Trust me, it’s newsworthy.
Doraville [map, official, wiki], a suburb of Atlanta, has elected Brian Bates to city council. He meets three of the criteria for being a suburban politician in our state: he’s 1) white, 2) male, and 3) a Republican.
He’s also gay.
I’ve suspected real social progress would occur in Atlanta’s suburbs over the next decade, I just never expected it to happen this soon. I’ll try not to read too much into Brian Bates’ victory; at the very least, however, it tells me that Republican voters in Doraville are adults.
