2021 Atlanta mayoral race

On January 28, 2021, Moore announced her candidacy for Mayor of Atlanta in the 2021 Atlanta mayoral election.[5] Her platform focuses on safer neighborhoods, government transparency, fiscal stability, and guaranteed city services.[6]

Moore placed first in the first round of the election, held on November 2, but lost the November 30 runoff to Andre Dickens, winning 37% against Dickens' 63% of the vote. After her loss, she blamed the rappers T.I. and Ike Dirty for turning public opinion against her, after they posted on social media that she had pledged to close all strip clubs in the city if elected.[7] According to TMZ, Moore said that the claims originated from a quote taken out of context, when she expressed her opposition to issuing new permits to certain businesses, such as recording studios, and accused the rappers of spreading misinformation.[8]
