FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS,
My name is Allen Daly, and Buckhead has been home to my family for three generations.
I know how to lead through challenge, stay focused under pressure, and solve problems without excuses. I’ve done it for my family, my career, and my community, and I’m ready to do it for this district.
I’m not here to play politics. I’m here because I know what service looks like and I believe this community deserves leadership that does the same.
This is my home and I’m here to serve it.
Standing with you,
Allen
Rooted In Buckhead
Three generations, one home. Allen’s grandfather opened Crain-Daly Volkswagen, Georgia’s first Volkswagen dealership, on Piedmont Rd NE, where it stood as a local fixture in Buckhead’s early growth.
From that foundation, Allen inherited a belief in hard work, quiet leadership, and the importance of doing right by your neighbors. That same mindset is what drives his campaign today: staying rooted, showing up, and helping build a future worth staying for.
That same mindset drives his campaign today: staying rooted, showing up, and making local government accountable to the people who actually live here.
Built On Quiet Action
From earning his Eagle Scout rank to working with after-school programs at the YMCA, Allen has always believed service means stepping up, whether it’s for a neighbor or a cause. He’s supported efforts in sarcoma research and neurological care, and understands that real progress isn’t driven by one person alone, it takes steady work and collective responsibility.
Allen believes leadership means showing up in person, that’s why he’s been doing his own door knocking since day one and continues to host neighborhood meet-and-greets at his own home. For him, service isn’t about talking; it’s about listening, acting, and staying connected to the people he represents.
Invested In The Future
Atlanta has grown fast, but the systems meant to support that growth haven’t kept up. From outdated infrastructure to slow, reactive public services, residents are feeling the gap between where the city is and where it needs to be.
With a background in technology and cybersecurity, Allen understands how to bring efficiency, innovation, and accountability to local government. He’s applying that experience through his Smart Streets Now plan: a proven, cost-effective solution that can reduce traffic by up to 25% and help emergency services respond faster. He also plans to push for the revamp the ATL311 app to make it more reliable and responsive, improving residents’ everyday quality of life.
Allen’s approach goes beyond ideas, it’s about integrity. As a top 1% performer in his field, he’s the only candidate willing to leave his full-time job to serve District 7 full time. His campaign is fully self-funded: no real estate developers, no lobbyists, no special interests, by choice. Because leadership should be about public service, not personal gain.
Buckhead Pays In.
It’s Time We See It Pay Off.
Buckhead generates nearly 40% of Atlanta’s tax revenue, yet District 7 still feels overlooked.
That’s not just frustrating, it’s a failure of priorities.
This campaign isn’t about making noise. It’s about demanding results.
City Hall needs to stop treating Buckhead like a revenue stream and start delivering on what we deserve: clear oversight, smarter budgeting, and real investment in the people who live here.
Allen is running to make sure your tax dollars are respected, your voice is heard, and your neighborhood finally sees a return on what it gives.
He’s not here to manage decline but to raise expectations.
Because if we’re helping fund this city,
it’s time we start shaping it.
