Yesterday, we celebrated the 20th Class of the Gwinnett 101 Citizens Academy! Speaking to this milestone class was especially meaningful for me as I helped launch this program 10 years ago to connect residents with their local government and empower them to make a difference in their community. I’m so encouraged to see so many Gwinnettians continue that tradition — taking the time to learn, engage, and show up in meaningful ways. Congratulations to the 20th class of Gwinnett 101! Your commitment to civic leadership is what keeps our community strong.

The legacy of accessible and affordable healthcare continues to grow in DeKalb County. I had the privilege of witnessing the grand opening of a state-of-the-art medical facility in South DeKalb—another milestone in a journey that began many years ago. When the Grady clinic at the Rainbow Plaza Kroger closed, I made it my mission to ensure that South DeKalb would never be without quality healthcare options. That commitment led to the successful fight for a new medical facility in the Kirkwood area. At the time, it was a significant victory for the community—and it ignited a much larger vision. A decade later, while serving as Chair of the Planning, Economic & Community Services Committee, I helped guide the development of three new medical facilities across DeKalb County. Two of these are located in District 3, where I proudly served as Commissioner for more than 20 years. I’ve now watched that vision come to life with the opening on Flat Shoals Parkway, another soon to open at Candler/McAfee Plaza, and a third on the horizon. These facilities represent more than new buildings—they represent access, equity, and the long-term health of our residents. Thank you to the DeKalb CEO and the Board of Commissioners for their partnership in ensuring that the promise made to this community has been kept. This is the work that changes lives, strengthens neighborhoods, and secures a healthier future for all. #Legacy #Healthcare #SouthDeKalb #ForThePeople #TheHonorableLarryJohnson #LarryJohnsonForSenate
