CHRISTMAS PARADE WITH MAYOR MILLS
AND MAYOR EVANS
Where in eMetro?
MAYOR MILLS
As the rest of the world
prepares to celebrate the
coming of the new year,
the city of Conyers will
celebrate one man who has
served the city of Conyers
for 28 years. Starting in
January, Mayor Randy
Mills, a 41-year resident
of the city of Conyers,
will step out of office and
Mayor Vince Evans will
step in and take the reins.
Mayor Mills served on the
city council for 8 years and
then stepped in as mayor
and served for 20 years.
As incoming Mayor Vince
Evans said, “He brought
the class and dignity into
that position as Mayor, as
well as the dedication of
20 years…” Mayor Randy
Mills has certainly changed
the city of Conyers for
the better as a result of
his hard work. However,
Mayor Mills refuses to take
the credit for all he has
accomplished. He states,
“… it is not what I have
accomplished, it is what WE
have accomplished for the
last twenty years.”
So what has this
prominent man
accomplished, alongside his
community, in his 20 years
as Mayor? Mayor Evans
is very thankful for Mayor
Mills’ accomplishments and
says, we would not have
enough time to go over
all of his hard works, “…
but there have been many.”
Yes, it is very obvious from
talking with Mayor Randy
Mills in an interview, that
he is focused on community.
Mayor Mills states, “…one
major achievement has been
the city and county school
board and it’s elective
leadership and the Chamber
of Commerce working
together for the common
good of this community.”
Mayor Mills calls Mayor
Evans one of his best
friends; what better person
to hand off the baton to
than your best friend?
Mayor Mills wants to bless
Mayor Evans and states
that, “…it only seems
natural that he is the right
person at the right time to
lead this council and this
community.” He also says
that he has confidence in his
abilities. The respect Mills
has for Evans is apparent in
they way he speaks of his
friend. He has faith that his
experience in a professional
and governmental career
will provide him with a firm
foundation in his role as
mayor.
In closing, Mayor Mills
wants to give Mayor Evans
some advice as he takes
on his role as mayor. He
encourages him to have
his council work as a team
with his primary role as
being the captain of the
team. He says, “…have
everyone check their ego at
the door.” He encourages
Evans to do the work of
the people. Mayor Mills
would like the public to
know that it has been an
honor and a privilege to
serve in an elective capacity
for 28 years. He says, “…
It has been one of the most
humbling experiences that I
will always cherish.” Thank
you Mayor Randy Mills for
your service to the city of
Conyers.
MAYOR EVANS
