Already in office since Jan. 1 as the new chairwoman for the next four years, Cupid has served on the Cobb Board of Commissioners for eight years for South Cobb’s District Four.

Some accomplishments during her past eight years include “championing Cobb’s newly instituted Sunday transit service, improving citizen education and engagement in government and advocating for enhanced public safety measures, including the use of license plate readers, additional body cameras and a public safety nuisance abatement program,” according to a county statement.

Cupid is “known as a strong advocate for the fair treatment of all of Cobb’s residents and stakeholders - regardless of geographic, demographic or economic standing,” the statement added.

In her new role as chairwoman, Cupid said she plans to be “all-in” for Cobb by “strengthening a foundation of integrity, fostering intelligent decisions, being inclusive, supporting innovation and investing in Cobb’s residents, infrastructure and future.”

Cupid is an attorney and a former mediator, policy analyst and manufacturing process engineer.

She resides in Austell with her two children and husband who is also an attorney, a law partner and former electrical engineer.

Both are graduates of Georgia Tech and Georgia State Law.

The Cupid family attends Buckhead Church.
