Atlanta sources have stated that Stockbridge native Partha Chakraborty is among five candidates who qualified recently to run for the vacant mayor seat in Stockbridge.
The mayor seat has been empty since former Stockbridge Mayor Tim Thompson resigned during a Dec. 15 council meeting, which was contingent upon getting the appropriate amount of signatures, but is now no longer listed as a candidate for that seat.
It is stated that a post on his Facebook page explained his reasons for running for mayor that when he has graduated from high school and was looking at colleges, he had one criteria, it had to far away from Stockbridge and Georgia. Because let’s be real, Stockbridge doesn’t have a lot to offer for teens and young adults and since then he has lived in New Jersey, Europe, in the City of Atlanta, and have traveled to 14 different countries.
He has added that he wants to see Stockbridge develop into a vibrant community where we can live-work-play and also as a place where our young adults can set up their lives and use their education and talents to start new businesses and a place we would be proud to call home.
