ATLANTA --
In the swing state of Georgia, as midterm candidates and their campaigns are preparing for their election night watch parties -- and keenly tracking probability data -- there is one candidate who is making preparations of a different kind.
Eric Helvy, a candidate for Georgia State Senator of District 38, is preparing to hold what he's calling a post-election Public Policy Leadership News Conference -- win or lose.
There's a future for Georgia Helvy says he's committing to, in an expanded way, out of this midterm election cycle: a future he sees has been waiting to be launched in the 21st century, in the communities he serves.
Whether elected on November 3rd or not, Helvy is launching a public policy leadership initiative with a public engagement strategy, as he completes his campaign phase. Those details will be shared at the news conference with the media and the communities and stakeholders he has focused on listening to over the last six months. It's to be a moment of contribution and historic acknowledgement, Helvy intends, for the entire district.
Helvy communicated about his news conference decision this way:
"There is a tremendous leadership opportunity that lies ahead of us in Georgia -- and in our communities -- at this midterm election juncture. There are a number of seats that will be opening up in the House and the Senate, because those elected officials chose to run for another office.
"There are key committee appointments, key caucus positions, that will be undetermined until after January of 2027. There will be a significant number of newly elected Senators -- fresh leaders, fresh starts -- filling an unprecedented vacuum of departed, some long-standing Senate leaders.
"The opportunity for new conversations, new communications across the aisle, creates an opening for new relationships, and new collective visioning.
"Georgia is a global player. Atlanta is a global destination.
"It will take public policy leadership-- now more than ever. Leadership that can hear North Atlanta just as keenly as South Atlanta. It's something I am committed to, at a greater public policy leadership intention. It's a public policy leadership intention to create an environment of results that fulfills a collective commitment -- for us all."
Helvy says he will be communicating details about the Public Policy Leadership News Conference over the next coming days.
