Rhonda's Mission for District 77

Meet Rhonda
Rhonda brings a new and energetic voice that offers bold, alternative, and original solutions to some of Clayton County’s most pressing issues. As a private citizen, she represented and advocated for the interests and concerns of the 77th District since relocating to Clayton County over 20 years ago. And while this will be her first time holding public office, Rhonda has already provided a wide variety of enrichment experiences throughout both District 77 and Clayton County.
Along with being a dedicated public school administrator who has created and implemented numerous valuable programs such as the DAY ONE initiative, which promotes the awareness of beginning the academic year with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn, and the Celebrity Reader program, where community leaders read to fourth grade students, Rhonda has also founded viable community organizations such as the local chapter of 500 Men Standing in the GAP which encourages fathers and men to become actively engaged in the lives of their children and those in the community, as well as 500 Women Standing in the GAP.
Rhonda has also collaborated with local leaders and organizations designed to improve our overall quality of life by not only bringing awareness to the issues that affect us all, but by offering and executing sustainable solutions. These partners have continuously selected Rhonda to not only serve on, but lead several local boards of directors, while also affiliating herself with entities outside of the county in order to develop relationships that will benefit all members of our community.
Rhonda has worked hard to help make Clayton County a destination where families can be proud to live, work, and play. As your Representative, economic development, neighborhood improvement, and job creation are just a few of the top District priorities that she is working to advance.
In short, Rhonda understands the investments and actions needed to provide our District with opportunities to achieve success.
Rhonda and her husband, Clarence, have resided in Riverdale’s The Villages of Lake Ridge community for over 23 years, and are proud to call District 77 home.
