The Atlanta City Council has appointed Carden Wyckoff to fill the vacant District 2 seat created when Amir Farokhi stepped down in July to become head of school for the Galloway School.
Wyckoff, a disability advocate, has served as chairwoman for the City of Atlanta Accessibility and Inclusion Task Force and a member of the MARTA Riders Advisory Committee and MARTA Army Board of Directors.
She will fill the remaining 104 days left in the term and will assume Farokhi’s positions on the Transportation and Zoning committees and the Committee on Council.
Wyckoff posted on Instagram: “As I prepare to be sworn in over the next week, I am filled with gratitude for the trust and support of our community and for the encouragement from so many who believe in a more accessible, equitable, and connected Atlanta. Thank you to the honorable Amir Farokhi for your endorsement.”
