Balch said “I am honored and humbled by the contributions we received from teachers to retirees and supporters of different backgrounds united by a belief that we need more good people in government. As I visit communities across the district from Buckhead to East Point, our message of uniting for school reform, better jobs and safer communities is embraced by people who want someone to stand with them and be a real voice for the community.”
