WHERE I COME FROM
My Name is Errol Mitchell, and I have been deeply committed to public service. I had the honor of serving as your Hampton City Council member from 2017 until 2021.

My family and I moved to Georgia in 2005 and have lived in Hampton for 15 years.

I am deeply committed to helping govern our city into the future. I want to ensure that we can all continue to be proud of the place we call home.
