About Debora
I Am Honored to Serve
Welcome to my re‑election campaign site for Mableton City Council! I'm Debora Herndon, your current City Councilmember for District 6, elected in Mableton’s first municipal election in March 2023.
​Over the past two years, I’ve worked hard to make sure the voices of District 6 were heard as we built Mableton’s city government from the ground up. I’ve focused on listening to residents, encouraging transparency, and helping establish city services that reflect our community’s priorities. I’ve also remained firm in my belief that fiscal responsibility isn’t optional—it’s essential. Every decision I’ve made has been grounded in accountability and the belief that our city should always live within its means while planning wisely for the future. It hasn’t always been easy, but together we’ve taken meaningful steps toward creating a city that works for all of us.
​
While Mableton has made important strides, there is still much work to be done to build a city that truly reflects the needs and desires of its residents. From improving infrastructure and enhancing public safety to expanding economic opportunities and delivering high-quality city services, I understand that progress requires thoughtful planning and dedicated, forward-thinking leadership. I am committed to tackling these challenges head-on, working with the community to create a city that is efficient, equitable, and built to thrive for generations to come.
​
Serving the people of Mableton has been a tremendous honor for me. As the city continues to grow and define its identity, I am eager to keep working alongside residents to ensure progress reflects the community’s values. I would like an opportunity to continue this important work—leading with transparency, advocating for smart policies, and always putting the people of Mableton first.
"An honest voice for Mableton"
In order to make a good decision, a person needs to have all of the information. This is especially true of political office, where there is a duty to represent the people. I believe in candid communication where all the details are shared so that the community can have influence over the legislative decisions being made that will impact their daily lives.
Diligent.
Detailed.
Driven.
Building a new city takes determination, hard work, and vision. As Mableton grows, it’s critical to lay a strong, stable foundation—one built on thoughtful planning and responsible leadership. I bring the diligence, attention to detail, and unwavering commitment needed to ensure Mableton moves forward with purpose, transparency, and fiscal responsibility.
