Liz Hausmann is the Fulton County Commissioner representing District 3.

This district is located in north Fulton and includes the cities of Alpharetta, Mountain Park, Johns Creek, Milton, and part of Roswell. Commissioner Hausmann was unopposed in the November 2, 2010 general election.

Commissioner Hausmann has made her career in public service. She began that career by serving on the Fulton County Board of Education. Elected in 2002, Commissioner Hausmann encouraged system-wide reform. She helped lead the reform to privatize the Fulton County School System Capital Programs Department, saving the school district millions of dollars that could then be utilized in the classroom to enhance student achievement. She also sought to diminish the financial burden to taxpayers by voting to lower the millage rate while serving on the Board.

While still on the Fulton County Board of Education, Commissioner Hausmann served as a member of the Board of the Committee for Johns Creek. As a Board member, she worked to create the new city of Johns Creek, incorporating and electing a local City Council in 2006. Simultaneously, Commissioner Hausmann supported the creation of Johns Creek’s innovative millage rate cap; making it easier for homeowners to have a voice about tax rate increases.

Following the successful incorporation vote, Commissioner Hausmann was elected to join the inaugural Johns Creek City Council. As a leader for the new city, Commissioner Hausmann adopted a model program of privatization which allowed city services to be delivered efficiently and with great savings to the local taxpayers. Johns Creek residents today enjoy enhanced public safety protection, and many new infrastructure improvements to the city.
