State of the City Address
Mrs. Jazzmin Cobble is honored and excited to serve as the Mayor for the City of Stonecrest. As a fellow resident, she has a personal stake
in seeing that each generation in the City of Stonecrest has the representation,
resources, and services to enjoy a quality of life. Ensuring that the city can
directly provide these simple yet necessary elements to its
residents is of the utmost
importance to her.
During her 5.5 years on City Council, Mayor Cobble built a reputation for being a strong voice for her constituents while
also demanding fiscal responsibility and accountability from the city administration. She dedicated herself to setting up the city government with a foundation of fiduciary integrity and servant leadership. She led by being vocal about improprieties and vigilant about instituting effective solutions. Mrs. Cobble worked in partnership with her fellow city council members to implement legislative solutions that have resulted in the unified government you see working today.
In 2019, Mayor Coble created her signature, annual
community event, "Screen on the Green
and Entrepreneur Expo" featuring both youth and adult entrepreneurs in Stonecrest with free food, live DJ, children’s activities, live performances by resident artists and a family-friendly movie in the park to culminate the evening. As a member of the Stonecrest City Council, she served as the Chairwoman of the Finance Committee working closely with the city staff to ensure that contracts and purchases were compliant with state laws and city policies.
Mayor Cobble believes that the future of the city rests in the critical work that lies ahead in REBUILDING and REFORMING Stonecrest. Continuity between both branches of government is the stronghold that will reinstate confidence throughout her beloved community.
Under her leadership, the Mayor’s Office
works in lockstep with the City Council to advance one unified agenda that will make the city one that everyone can be proud of. RESTORING hope to the residents and resetting the level of expectation for the business community helps move the city forward, together. She believes this can happen by bolstering sustainable policies, processes, standards, and principles throughout all the lines of service that the city provides.
On November 7, 2023, Mayor Cobble was re-elected for a full four-year term. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from her beloved alma mater, Albany State University.
