Bill Bozarth, a longtime citizen activist and former executive director of government watchdog Common Cause Georgia, is running to represent a large chunk of North Atlanta in the state House of Representatives.
And he’s running not as a Republican or a Democrat, but an independent candidate. The district, which includes Brookhaven, Buckhead, Lindbergh-Morosgo, and other communities, was most recently represented by state Rep. Ed Lindsey, R-Buckhead, who’s stepping down to run for Congress.
Bozarth, a Garden Hills resident, has played a key role in many local initiatives, including MARTA’s Lindbergh transit-oriented development and the preservation of the former North Fulton High School which ultimately became the Atlanta International School.
The husband and father of four, who also spent more than 25 years at IBM, has served on nearly every neighborhood civic group you can name in addition to organizations such as the Atlanta Council on International Relations, the International Club of Atlanta, and the Civil War Roundtable of Atlanta.
From 2002 to 2010, he served as the executive director of Common Cause Georgia, where he regularly advocated for ethics reform.
