Dr. LaTonya Martin Rogers proudly serves the City of East Point as the Ward D Council Representative. With a background in education and a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership, she brings a thoughtful, data-informed approach to leadership and believes the best decisions are made by listening to the people they impact.

She led East Point’s first internship program in partnership with Atlanta Metropolitan State College and helped establish the city’s first public-private partnership through the Georgia Soccer Park Foundation, expanding recreational opportunities and youth programming for local families.

Dr. Rogers is actively involved in numerous civic, cultural, historical, and educational organizations, including the East Point Cultural Enrichment Commission, East Point Preservation Alliance, East Point Historical Society, East Point Census Board, Tri-Cities High School Alumni Association, South Fulton Parents for Education, and other community-focused groups.

Dr. Rogers and her husband, Robert P. Rogers Jr., reside in the Heritage Park neighborhood and are active members of Friendship Community Church. She is a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, and together they are inaugural owners of Market 166, a people-first cooperative grocery store expanding access to fresh, healthy food in East Point.

Whether advocating for safer neighborhoods, supporting local businesses, investing in infrastructure, or expanding opportunities for young people and families, Dr. Rogers remains committed to leading with integrity, transparency, and compassion—ensuring every voice in Ward D is heard.
