Jerica Richardson

Jerica is a friendly and charismatic engineer, author, entrepreneur and advocate. She has found success in recognizing that what connects us is far greater than what separates us. Solving problems through collaboration and empowering others is a way of life for Jerica and she wants to put that to work for the citizens of Cobb County by being the next Cobb County Commissioner for District 2.

Jerica’s platform is structured to address the most pressing issues in our county in a transparent and thorough way that engages with community partners, advocates on behalf of the marginalized, and develops solutions that consider the needs of the future. Our county should be an example of people who know their voices and concerns have been heard. Jerica will address the need for greater corporate and government transparency in Cobb County, and will ensure that everyone has a seat at the table. She also sees a need for improved innovation in Cobb County. She seeks to creatively and collaboratively look at our challenges to find real solutions for creating a safer and cleaner environment, improving our public spaces, and justly allocating public resources in a way that aligns with the vision of our future. Lastly, Jerica’s vision for addressing Cobb’s most crucial challenges includes creating more options for connectivity-- to resources and safety, and from place to place. Expanding transportation options will be a top priority, as will increasing accessibility to government officials and ending closed networking.
