"Simone Bell will stand strong at the Capitol for the shared values in our diverse neighborhoods. We can count on Simone to be responsive, to stand up for our best interests, and to work tirelessly for positive solutions to our public safety, education, transportation, and health concerns."

"I'm supporting Simone Bell because she has a strong moral compass. She knows right from wrong and you can count on her to be on the right side."

State Representative Margaret Kaiser, District 59
"Good schools are the foundation of strong neighborhoods, and Simone Bell understands. I need her help at the State Capitol to turn around the education budget cuts."  

Valarie Acree, Reynoldstown
"Simone never hesitates to speak her mind. At the same time, she has the ability to bring divergent interests together and build a consensus, getting people who ordinarily dosagree to work together for positive change. It's a rare combination, being an advocate and a consensus-builder, and Simone can bring that to the General Assembly for us."  

Jeff Graham, Ormewood Park
"Courage and strong convictions matter when we pick our legislator. I've known her for 14 years, and I saw how Simone Bell displayed those qualities on staff for Lambda Legal, traveling across the South as a community organizer. At a time when special interests are hostile to our intown Atlanta neighborhoods and control the state legislature, Simone's fortitude will be a real asset for us."  

Lynette Garner, Ormewood Park
"Simone Bell recognizes that our children deserve a world-class education to compete in the modern global economy. She will go to the Capitol and fight to roll back the budget cuts that are starving our public schools. I've raised 5 children and I know she cares for all our children. She's even helped at risk youth return to school to complete their education."  

Liz Hill, Reynoldstown Square
"She listens. She has come directly into the neighborhoods, listened to our concerns, heard what we need done, and asked for our vote the old-fashioned way. She showed respect for us as voters."  

Clarence Days, Benteen
"Simone brings to bear a career in health care administration plus a passionate belief that we all deserve quality affordable health care coverage that can never be taken away. She knows how the system works, and she knows what really needs to be done to make it work for families like ours, facing higher premiums, pre-existing condition exclusions, and bigger and bigger co-pays."  

Holiday Simmons, Eastland
"We need someone who will stand up for all of the diverse communities that make up this district. She's tough. She respects all of us. Simone is the clear choice, the only choice."  

Stacey Blake, East Atlanta
"We need to get the balance right: strong economic growth opening doors to prosperity, but tailored to our neighborhoods. Simone works for a community that thrives."  

Pam Mayo, Reynoldstown
"We shouldn't have to live in fear. We need the state to join our city and county and commit to putting more police on the beat. I know Simone shares my concerns."  

Barbara Martin, Edgewood
"We need quality affordable health care coverage that can never be taken away. No matter what happens in Congress, I still want Simone looking out for me."
