NE Cobb Resident, Attorney To Run For Cobb Commissioner

EAST COBB, GA — A longtime Northeast Cobb resident and attorney announced her campaign for the District 3 seat on the Cobb County Board of Commissioners, East Cobb News reported.

Judy Sarden is running in the May 24 Republican primary for the District 3 seat, which is currently held by Republican Commissioner JoAnn Birrell. Her term expires at the end of this year.

Sarden, who's lived in Cobb County for 15 years, announced her campaign Feb. 18, the news outlet reported. She filed her declaration of intent to run Feb. 11, and qualifying for primaries is set for March 7 to March 11.

Sarden mentions East Cobb cityhood on her campaign website, saying while she supports voters having the right to choose whether or not to become a city, she believes there's been a "rushed timeline" with the referendum and said there are too many unanswered questions about what cityhood could mean.

"Judy's greatest desire is to serve the people of District 3 as a Commissioner who listens to her constituents and who ensures that their voices are heard at the county level," her campaign website reads. "She understands that regardless of who a constituent voted for, our County commissioner represents all residents of her district and she hopes to help our community begin to heal after the divisiveness of the recent past."
