The 2025 Atlanta City Council presidential election will be held on November 4, 2025, to elect the Atlanta City Council President. Incumbent president Doug Shipman retired after serving one four-year term. City councilmember Marci Collier Overstreet won the election. [1]
Shipman was initially planning to run for re-election but ultimately decided against it in February 2025. [2] He stated that he needed to focus on family health matters, and would not be able to properly fulfill the duties of the job over the next four years. [3]
Malhotra was characterized as a progressive outsider, while Overstreet is generally considered an insider establishment candidate. [7] In a debate, Overstreet described Malhotra's nonprofit business a crumbling failure. Malhotra responded by claiming Overstreet did not take her job seriously, as she had spent time in city council meetings taking selfies with other councilmembers. [8]
