William “Bill” Edwards vows to end negativity and restore credibility to Fulton County’s 2nd largest City.
(PRUnderground) April 21st, 2025
A crowd of enthusiastic residents gathered to show their support of former Mayor William “Bill” Edwards as he officially announced his candidacy for Mayor of the City of South Fulton. The announcement at the Enon Ranch drew a diverse group of local business owners, community leaders, young professionals, and longtime residents, who rallied behind Edwards’ vision for a stronger, more forward-thinking City of South Fulton. Edwards shared his S.E.A.L. the Deal mission that focuses on Sustainability (stabilizing city services), Economic Development (bringing new business to the city), Accountability (restoring the overall trust in governance), and Listening (heeding the concerns of citizens to address their issues).
“Citizens of South Fulton have grown tired of the constant negativity and infighting in their city, and they desire a leader who can deliver on the promises made when they voted to create this city. I am that positive leader with a wealth of government experience, vast political and personal relationships, and one who can seal the deal,” Edwards said.
Prior to serving as the City’s Inaugural Mayor, Edwards served over 14 years as the Fulton County Commissioner representing South Fulton. In this role, Edwards was instrumental in the allocation of millions of dollars of funding for the South Fulton Service District and was responsible for the creation of some of the crown jewels of the city, including Wolf Creek Amphitheater, South Fulton Arts Center, and the Adult-Day Program at the H.J.C Bowden Senior Multi-purpose Facility. As Mayor, Edwards successfully negotiated the acquisition of the majority of Fulton Industrial Boulevard (FIB) to be within the city limits. FIB is considered to be a major economic engine in the region.
Edwards’ April 17th campaign rally was also the kick-off to his listening tour across the City of South Fulton, designed to be an opportunity for residents to share what they deem most important to move the city forward. Edwards’ next stop will be Sunday, April 27th, 4 p.m.-6 p.m. at Mulan’s Asian Cuisine, 1195 Fairburn Road SW, Suite 100, Atlanta, GA 30331.
