Amy comes from a family of preachers, teachers, and soldiers. She's a former correctional officer, a licensed broker, and a housing advocate with 20+ years working in housing, community development, and public policy. Her belief is simple: leadership is stewardship.
Amy McCoy grew up watching people close to her serve — in the pulpit, in the classroom, and in uniform. That upbringing shaped how she sees public service: not as a title, but as a responsibility to show up for people who need you.
She started her career as a correctional officer, work that taught her firsthand what happens when systems fail people and communities are left to pick up the pieces. That experience pushed her toward housing and community development, where she has spent more than two decades working directly with families on the ground — as a licensed real estate broker, a fair housing advocate, and an organizer who has stood at the Georgia State Capitol, in county commission chambers, and on the doorsteps of neighbors fighting to keep their homes.
Amy has worked alongside chambers of commerce, statewide REALTOR® associations, and elected leaders on issues like fair housing policy, stopping private equity from buying up local housing stock, and holding government accountable to the people it serves. She's not new to this work — she's lived it.
Now she's bringing that same hands-on, stewardship-first approach to Douglas County Commissioner, District 4 — because she believes leadership means showing up, doing the homework, and never forgetting who you work for.
Protect Property Values
Keeping District 4 a place where homeowners' investments are respected and protected from reckless development.
Property values are the foundation of family wealth for most homeowners in District 4. Amy will push for planning decisions that consider the long-term impact on neighboring property values, not just short-term development interests, and will work to ensure residents have a real voice before major zoning changes are approved near their homes.
Infrastructure Before Expansion
Roads, water, and public services should be ready before new growth is approved — not scrambling to catch up after.
Too often, growth gets approved and infrastructure gets promised "later." Amy believes the order matters: roads, water capacity, and emergency services should be sized and funded for new development before it's approved, so existing residents aren't left dealing with the strain of growth they didn't ask for.
Transparent Government
Residents deserve to know how decisions are made and where their tax dollars go — plain and simple.
Amy's background in housing and public policy has shown her how much damage closed-door decision-making can do to a community's trust. She'll push for clear communication, accessible public meetings, and straightforward answers — so residents never feel like decisions about their county are being made without them.
Environmental Accountability
Growth shouldn't come at the cost of clean water, healthy land, and a livable county for the next generation.
Douglas County's natural resources are part of what makes it a place people want to raise a family. Amy will advocate for real environmental review before large-scale projects move forward, and for holding developers accountable to the commitments they make about protecting land, water, and air quality.
Data Center Impact Review
Large data center projects need real, independent review of their impact on power, water, and neighborhoods.
Data centers can bring investment, but they also draw heavily on power and water resources and can change the character of surrounding neighborhoods. Amy supports independent, transparent impact review before these projects are approved, so the county understands the full cost — not just the promised benefit — before signing off.
Support Local Opportunity
Backing local small businesses, contractors, and entrepreneurs so growth benefits people who already call District 4 home.
Amy wants Douglas County's growth to lift up the people already here. That means giving local businesses and contractors a real shot at county contracts and opportunities, and supporting the kind of small-business growth that keeps money circulating in the community instead of flowing out of it.
