The mayor who rose from poverty to transform a Georgia town - The Daily Nightly

The mayor who rose from poverty to transform a Georgia town - The Daily Nightly: "In 2007, Wynn-Dixon ran for the office of mayor of Riverdale, Ga., a city of around 16,000 people at the edge of Atlanta. She was 58 years old at the time and had no political experience. After a campaign that cost $2,318.57, she was elected. Wynn-Dixon’s first term lasted until 2008, and during her second term, which runs until 2016, she ran unopposed."
