ABOUT CAL COUCH
I’m a neighbor, business leader, and committed public servant. Born and raised in Georgia and a proud Johns Creek resident for the past five years, I believe in our city’s potential to be even better.
Our excellent schools, beautiful parks, thriving neighborhoods, and engaged residents are the reason Johns Creek is ranked the #1 Best Place to Live in the U.S. I’m running for City Council because this community has given so much to me and my family, and I want to give back. My goal is to ensure Johns Creek continues to be one of the best places to live, raise a family, and grow a business — while listening to and learning from the people who make our city great.
EDUCATION
B.A. in Finance, Augusta State University
WHY I'M RUNNING
Even as the #1 city in the nation, Johns Creek faces challenges. Growth is putting pressure on our infrastructure, and some systems are aging. I’m not just a candidate — I’m your neighbor. Johns Creek is special, and I want to ensure it stays that way. My leadership starts with listening.
MY TOP PRIORITIES:
-
Traffic solutions
-
Stormwater management
-
Parks and recreation
-
Unifying a divided City Council for the good of our community
