  <title><![CDATA[Horsley Wins First Election Bid ]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Travis Horsley, a 2012 alumnus of the Georgia Tech School of Public Policy, won his first election bid on November 7, 2017. He will be a new councilman-at-large in Hapeville, Georgia. Located near Atlanta-Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, the community is home to Porsche&rsquo;s North American headquarters.</p>

<p>Horsley says that he plans to focus on livability, public safety, capacity-building, openness and transparency, economic development, cost-savings in the budgetary process, and analytics-based municipal management. Horsley believes that the City of Hapeville sits at the juxtaposition of major change, and he would like to be part of this movement.</p>

<p>As a student at Georgia Tech, Horsley co-founded Tubing Operations for Humanitarian Logistics (TOHL), an enterprise that innovated&nbsp;plastic tubing dropped by a helicopter to deliver water to isolated communities in&nbsp;emergency situations.</p>

<p>Horsley was a recipient of the Ivan Allen Jr Legacy Award presented by the Georgia Tech Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, which is home to the School of Public Policy.</p>

<p>Congratulations, Travis!</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never

         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
