About John

John J. Funny, candidate for City Council, District 4, has resided in Brookhaven since 2010. John is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Grice Consulting Group, an internationally recognized city/urban planning, traffic engineering and transportation engineering consulting firm with its corporate headquarter office in Atlanta, GA. With over 30 years of professional experience, John oversees the firm’s day-to-day operations and corporate business-related matters including strategic business development and strategic planning for growth.


John’s long record of community engagement and service to Brookhaven is extensive and well known among community stakeholders. His resume includes his current role as Chairman on Brookhaven’s Social Justice, Race and Equity Commission, a group that addresses diversity and equity in the community including a review of the city’s mission statement, hiring practices, contracting practices and policing practices. John also spent eight productive years on the Planning Commission for Brookhaven which contributed to many of the positive outcomes the city and its citizens now enjoy. 


John knows the value of giving back to the community and has seen the positive impact that it can have on the lives and wellbeing of others. He has devotedly embraced his charitable and civic responsibilities for decades through leadership and volunteerism. Among his many endeavors, John serves as the National President for the Alumni Association of his alma matter, South Carolina State University, as well as serves on the University’s Board of Trustees. He also serves as Chairman of the Sadie Grice Funny Scholarship Foundation, an organization he founded in 2010 which has provided scholarships opportunities to students who desire to attend college but are unable because of a lack of funds. Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded over $200,000 to students throughout the southeastern U.S. to nurture a new generation of leaders and create a brighter future.

The Platform

 John is committed to building on the progress of Brookhaven's past and present leaders to create a city that is equitable, accessible, and prosperous for all residents.  

Expanding Economic Mobility

The COVID-19 pandemic hit some of our most vulnerable residents and businesses the hardest. We have a responsibility to create pathways for our residents and businesses to get ahead and build meaningful economic security.

Keeping Our Community Safe

One of the most important roles for any city government is to guarantee that residents are safe and secure no matter where they go. John will work with leaders throughout the community to keep our homes, streets, and sidewalks safe.

Making Housing Affordable

Housing prices are growing at a record pace. We must work to both build more housing options and ensure current residents are not priced out of the neighborhoods in which they live.

Improving Transportation

In addition to maintaining and repairing existing streets and sidewalks, we should work with leaders throughout the region to create innovative ways for our residents to get around the city and region.

Getting Greener

Our parks are some of our greatest assets. Our commitment to providing green space to our communities should be reflected in a new commitment to sustainability and protecting our environment.

Developing Our Workforce

Brookhaven is home to tens of thousands of talented people eager to do meaningful work. By providing additional resources to our workforce, we can continue to be one of the most competitive cities in the state for both workers and businesses. 

Supporting Smart Growth

John is committed to bringing new businesses and opportunities to Brookhaven while maintaining the small town character that makes Brookhaven so special.
