Timeline

1957

Cathy Woolard (born May 10, 1957) is an American politician who served as a member of the Atlanta City Council for District 6 from November 1998 to 2002, and as President of the Council from 2002 to 2004.

1979

In 1979, Woolard graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Georgia, where she majored in psychology and minored in German.

1997

When she began her term in 1997, she was the first openly-gay elected official in Georgia history, and she was the first woman to be President of the Council.

In 1997, Woolard ran and was elected to Atlanta's City Council by the 6th district, upsetting a 20-year incumbent.

While a council member, Woolard pushed for more pedestrian-friendly zoning, and she won increased funding for sidewalks.

She also chaired the city's Transportation Committee, and oversaw an expansion of the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, which had just become the busiest airport in the world.

2000

In 2000, Woolard led her colleagues on the Council to pass a local ordinance banning discrimination based on sexual-orientation, the first such ordinance in Georgia.

2001

In 2001, Woolard won a city-wide election for City Council President.

Working closely with Mayor Shirley Franklin and urbanist Ryan Gravel, Woolard championed the Atlanta BeltLine, a project to transform abandoned rail-corridors circling downtown into mixed-use recreational trails and transit.

The project has since garnered over $1 billion in private development for the surrounding area.

She also made sustainability a priority, creating the city's first-ever energy policy which saved taxpayers more than $470,000, and she founded the "Dirty Dozen," a pilot program to fix the worst code violations in the city.

2003

In 2003, Woolard completed Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government program for Senior Executives in State and Local Government as a David Bohnett LGBTQ Victory Institute Leadership Fellow.

Following college, Woolard served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Micronesia and then as a National Field Director for the Human Rights Campaign.

2004

In 2004, after serving two years of her term as city council president, Woolard entered the race to represent Georgia 4th district in United States House of Representatives, a seat that had been vacated by Denise Majette who had decided to run for the United States Senate seat.

Woolard was defeated in the primary by the returning Cynthia McKinney, who then won in the general election.

2008

In 2008, Woolard was appointed as Executive Vice President of Global Advocacy and External Relations at CARE, an Atlanta-based non-profit.

2010

She served in that capacity until 2010.

She then worked as a professional advocate on behalf of Planned Parenthood and Georgia Equality, with whom she argued against a controversial "Religious Freedom" bill in Georgia that was eventually vetoed by Governor Nathan Deal.

Woolard also served as the interim director for AID Atlanta, an organization providing care for those suffering from HIV and AIDS.

After the death of incumbent Congressman John Lewis, Woolard was mentioned as a possible candidate to replace Lewis on the November general election ballot.

2017

Woolard was a candidate in the 2017 Atlanta mayoral election, running on a platform of affordable housing and effective transportation.

Woolard placed third in the nonpartisan blanket primary.

After this, she endorsed Mary Norwood in the runoff.

2020

After the Democratic ticket of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the state of Georgia in the 2020 United States presidential election, Woolard served as a Georgia member of the 2020 United States Electoral College, casting her votes for Biden as president and Harris as vice president.

In 2021, over the objections of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners appointed Woolard as chair of the Fulton County Board of Elections and Registration.
