More than 300 community members gathered last Friday at the YiFan Event Center in Johns Creek for a 2026 Election Rally, bringing together 14 candidates and elected officials for an evening of interaction and discussion ahead of Election Day.

The rally provided an opportunity for voters to meet candidates face-to-face, raise community concerns, and hear directly from elected representatives and those seeking public office.

Among the prominent attendees were Senator Shawn Still, State Representatives Matt Reeves, Scott Hilton, Carter Barrett, and Chuck Martin, and Fulton County Commissioner Bridget Thorne. Other candidates and public officials in attendance included Jack Miller, Azure Duan, Elvia Davila, John Bradberry, Larry DiBiase, Dilip Tunki, and Lynne Riley.

A question-and-answer session formed an important part of the evening, with community members raising questions about public safety, schools, taxes, and the future of their children. The discussion offered voters an opportunity to engage directly with candidates and hear their perspectives on issues affecting the community.

The event organizers expressed gratitude to everyone who attended, volunteered, and supported the rally, with special appreciation for MC Lavanya Sreenath for hosting the evening.

As Election Day approaches, voters are encouraged to participate in the electoral process. Early voting concludes tonight at 7 p.m., while Election Day is Tuesday, November 3.
