Introducing Adrian Consonery Jr.: A Fresh Voice for Georgia’s Future

As many of you know, I have written countless articles for the Patch over the years, highlighting community events, wellness initiatives, and stories of resilience. Yet today, I write with a heart full of both pride and humility, because this article is different. This one is deeply personal. It is about my son, Adrian Consonery Jr., who has officially announced his candidacy for Georgia Secretary of State.

Adrian is not just my son, he is a young man whose life has been shaped by faith, family, and a deep commitment to service. He represents a new generation of leadership in Georgia, one that values transparency, integrity, and inclusion.

From an early age, Adrian was curious about how systems worked, whether in school, church, or government. He has always believed that everyday people deserve a voice, and that leadership should be about service, not self. Watching him grow into this moment has been both inspiring and affirming as a mother. I see in him the same qualities his dad and I tried to instill: compassion, responsibility, and the courage to stand firm in what he believes.

His campaign is centered on restoring trust in the democratic process, making voting accessible and secure for every Georgian, and ensuring that the Secretary of State’s office works for the people, not against them. Adrian understands the challenges of young people, working families, and communities that too often feel unheard. He is committed to building bridges and bringing fresh solutions to an office that plays a vital role in our democracy.

As his mother, I cannot pretend to be objective, but I can say without hesitation that Adrian embodies the heart and determination our state needs in this pivotal time. I believe Georgia is ready for a new kind of leadership, one that honors tradition while embracing progress.

While I have written many articles for this platform, this one will forever hold a special place in my heart. It is not just about politics, it is about legacy, about the hope that the next generation will lead with character, conviction, and care. And in Adrian, I see exactly that.

I invite you to learn more about his campaign, his vision, and his passion for serving the people of Georgia at AJ4GA.org. Whether you agree with his politics or not, I know you’ll see what I see, a young leader ready to step into history.
