Candidate Profile: Andy Bauman, Sandy Springs Mayor

The Georgia Politics Podcast continues its 2025 Candidate Profile series with Andy Bauman, a three term Sandy Springs City Council member now running for mayor.

In this in-depth conversation, Bauman shares his perspective on the city's most pressing issues — from responsible growth and transportation infrastructure to housing affordability, public safety, and maintaining the unique character that defines Sandy Springs.

Bauman discusses his record of public service and the lessons he's learned from over a decade on the City Council, including how to balance competing interests and find common ground in a fast-growing city. He also talks about what inspired him to step into the mayoral race, how he hopes to strengthen community engagement, and why local leadership matters more than ever.

Whether you're a Sandy Springs resident or simply interested in how local governments navigate change, this episode offers valuable insight into the challenges and opportunities shaping one of metro Atlanta's most dynamic cities.
