Public Safety Comes First!

Every family deserves to feel safe in their home and confident in their community. Zander Mason believes public safety is a core responsibility of local government, and that means supporting law enforcement, strengthening emergency response, and ensuring our firefighters and first responders have the tools they need to do their jobs.

Zander brings a practical, no-nonsense approach focused on smart budgeting, strong leadership, and real results. Safe neighborhoods, responsible government, and a community you can trust.

Together, we’ll make sure criminals know Athens is not a place where crime goes unchecked by…

  • Fully supporting our Police Department, making sure they have the full funding and resources they need to adequately respond to crime

  • Increasing funding for all public safety sectors, to also include Sheriff’s department, fire department, and other first responders.

  • Encouraging the establishment of more neighborhood-watch programs to promote safe neighborhoods and strong communities

  • Sending a message loud and clear: Gang violence and violent crime will not be tolerated in Athens-Clarke County. Period.
