I’m still recovering a bit from the whole mayoral run so in the meantime I wanted to post a couple videos from the whole experience. I didn’t have time to blog them while I was running so here are some of the finer moments.

First of all, our campaign commercial as directed by Raegan Hodge.

A second by Caroline Smith.

Fox News on my “Outsider” Candidacy.

A report by Channel 2 on my “controversial” blog! Soooo scary!

And lastly, a piece Creative Loafing did on the whole story of me running (and how it started and such).

So it’s been a minute since I’ve had time to post. Running for mayor was no joke. But I’ve done it, Election Day is behind me, and I’m looking forward to what happens from here.

As many of you know, I got into the mayoral race to have IMPACT. Whether that meant I won or got 1%, I was able to stand up for my community and let our city leaders know that we’re all serious. We deserve a safe, functional, and well-managed city. I was happy to stand up for that.

But let me be honest too, I’m glad it’s over. If I ever run again I’ll have a whole new game plan and way of going about it. For now, it’s back to me! I have plans for Atlantans Together as well as some ideas for City Hall, but I’m chillin’ til the end of the year. I need it. The new fight begins in the new year.

In the meantime – if you were to ask “hey Kyle, whatcha gonna do next?” – I’m going to Disney World!

Halloween '09 (At least I was really the mayor for one night!)

Today was amazing. Even though I wasn’t let into the WSB/APF mayoral debate on public safety, I was able to stand with my community in response to the raid on The Eagle. Now, I’m putting together the final touches on the brand new website. I am going to launch it in the morning! So stay tuned. I shall let you know!

There was a raid at The Eagle last night in Atlanta. A lot of questions remain unanswered. I’m utilizing everything in my power to bring the APD and the gay community together in an open forum. We need answers. I, like many others, do not want to jump to conclusions but, as Danni Lynn Harris (Atlanta’s liaison to the GLBT community) said:

the volume of complaints she’s received from Eagle customers suggest an investigation is warranted.

I’m going to try and leverage ATAC against the needs of this community and see if we can’t pull something together. Stay tuned.

Eight months ago I was the victim of violent crime. It changed my life. My neighbors, my friends, and my community have been increasingly affected by the rise of crime in this city. That is why I am in this race.

I invite people to read my website and be their own judge of my character. I have stood up, organized rallies across the city, and am in this for one reason: to build a better Atlanta for all of us.
