Allegations of fraud followed by being disbarred by the state Supreme Court has Atlanta City Council Post 3 At-Large incumbent Lamar Willis facing an uphill battle to hold onto the seat he's held since 2001. This election has big names jumping into the fray — Mayor Kasim Reed continues to back Willis despite the disbarment while former Mayor Shirley Franklin and former Atlanta City Council President Cathy Woolard held a recent press conference to endorse first-time candidate Andre Dickens. Woolard, the first openly gay elected person in Georgia when elected to the council in 1997, is also a lobbyist for Georgia Equality, the state's largest LGBT advocacy organization.
