Cascade "Names in the News" - Beverly Isom, Communications Dir. for Rep. John Lewis

Rep. John Lewis' campaign for re-election campaign is in full swing, and at the center of the communications and messaging lies the Sandtown resident, Beverly Isom.

Beverly Isom is the former Communications Director for Mayor Shirley Franklin, and over the years has talked at a number of schools about her career and her passions.  From my brief discussion with her, I can report that Ms. Isom is not one to hold her tongue.  She tells you like she sees it, and with no rose colored glasses.

As I was jokingly saying that her current boss, Congressman John Lewis, was a "sure-win," she quickly stopped me.  Beverly was adamant in her belief that there is a young generation that needs to be educated about John Lewis and what he has done.  "That's why we went on The Colbert Report last night (to make sure the young generation knows and remembers him)," she said.

The Sandtown resident is excited about this upcoming election and told me there will be a number of opportunities for Southwest Atlanta residents to see and interact with the Congressman this summer.
