After several months on the campaign trail, Kasim Reed, an attorney and former Georgia state senator, will be sworn in as Atlanta’s next mayor after a recount Wednesday confirmed he had won a runoff election. Prior to the election Purple Label PR had the honor of attendending one of his fundraisers held at Uptown Lounge. With celebrity supporters like Usher, Jermaine Dupri, Keri Hilson, and Mary J. Blige in his corner, Reed’s popularity and message was proved effective and relevant, which landed him he title of the next mayor of Atlanta. City Councilwoman Mary Norwood sought the recount after coming up 715 votes short in the Dec. 1 balloting, or fewer than 1% of the total cast. Reed’s margin of victory ended up at 714 votes, Fulton County officials said. He is set to take office January 4, 2010. Congratulations to Kasim Reed !
