Candidate Profile: Tate Holcombe, Alpharetta City Council Post 3

Author: Appen Podcast Network September 8, 2025 Duration: 46:14

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! This week, we have a conversation with Tate Holcombe, candidate for Alpharetta City Council Post 3.

Tate grew up in the city he now hopes to help lead, attending King's Ridge Christian School before heading to Samford University. Today, he is raising his young daughter in the same community where he spent his own childhood, giving him a deeply personal stake in Alpharetta's future.

In our interview, Tate reflects on his upbringing in Alpharetta, sharing memories of its parks and schools, and how those experiences shaped his vision for the city. He speaks about his campaign's focus on putting families first, with priorities that include preserving and expanding Alpharetta's parks and recreation spaces, maintaining strong public safety, and ensuring that the city continues to grow responsibly. He also discusses pressing issues like traffic and parking, explaining how he hopes to balance the needs of a modern, thriving Alpharetta with the small-town character that has long defined it.

Throughout the conversation, Tate emphasizes his belief that local leadership works best when it is rooted in community connections and shaped by the voices of residents. With a platform centered on safety, livability, and family-friendly policies, he makes the case for why he believes he is the right candidate to represent Post 3 on the Alpharetta City Council.
