Vote Deanna Jue Sutandi for City of Decatur City Commission, District 2 on November 4 or during Early Voting from October 14 - 31

Hi, neighbor! I’m Deanna. Growing up, I didn’t always feel that sense of community — of neighbors looking out for one another — but when I came to Decatur, I found it.

Since moving here, I've been all in — serving and leading in our city, schools, and neighborhoods — creating spaces and opportunities that bring people together. I’m here to work for Decatur with fresh energy, approachable leadership, and a commitment to an inclusive, connected community—where every voice matters and every neighbor feels at home.

“I met Deanna while working on the Oakhurst Elementary school auction committee during her tenure as Oakhurst's PTA President. Deanna’s enthusiasm for everything she does and puts her mind to is infectious. She makes you want to join up, pitch in, give back, and generally be a good neighbor - because she does all of these things in a way that is inspirational and inclusive and effortless. Deanna is tenacious, driven, kind, and one of the most hard-working, community-minded people I’ve ever met. I know Deanna will be an incredible city commissioner and lead with efficiency, transparency, grace, and always for good of the whole. She is a ray of human sunshine!”
