KHADIJAH ABDUR-RAHMAN
FULTON COUNTY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT 6 
​
​Khadijah Abdur-Rahman is the Fulton County Commissioner for District 6, popularly known as “The Mighty6” commission district. “Commissioner Khadijah,” a business owner and community advocate, was elected overwhelmingly by the people of Southwest Atlanta and the communities in South Fulton County in November 2020. She secured the seat after a record-setting victory in the June 2020 Democratic Primary—winning by 16 points. She also made history by becoming the first Muslim woman elected in Georgia. Upon taking office in January 2021, Khadijah filled the post of her mentor, the late Commissioner Emma I. Darnell, who held the seat for nearly 30 years before dying in office in May 2019. Khadijah’s priorities include public safety and criminal justice reform including reducing juvenile delinquency;  senior services and youth programs; environmental justice; public health; economic development and entrepreneurism; and arts and cultural programming. A community leader for years, Khadijah serves on the board of directors of Atlanta Legal Aid Society; is fundraising chairperson at Humanitarian Relief Inc., a faith-based program that feeds homeless and needy persons; is past board member of the Fulton County Council on Aging; and has been a longtime volunteer with the C.T. Martin Youth Fest. ​
