MACON, Ga. — A Macon woman apparently wants to improve the 'chemistry' in the mayor's office.
Georgia's Secretary of State's website says "Shekita Tikori Maxwell" qualified to run for Macon-Bibb Mayor against incumbent Lester Miller.
She listed her occupation as "chemist."
Miller is seeking a second term, and so far, Maxwell is his only challenger.
To qualify for the May 21 ballot, she and Miller had to pay a $3,000 qualifying fee.
In a Facebook post, she honored Women's History Month, and highlighted her campaign slogan: "Maxwell Changing Macon"
"Women's History Month recognizes and celebrates Women of every race, class and ethnic background whose roles and contributions in the body of History, authorities and requested by law, President Jimmy Carter, Georgia," she wrote. "Let's continue to make history... VOTE Shekita Maxwell for MAYOR [of] MACON-BIBB COUNTY, GEORGIA!"
She's also a community activist and has organized anti-violence protests and back-to-school events.
We're trying to schedule an interview with Maxwell to help better understand her platform and why she thinks she's the best fit for Macon-Bibb County.
