The seat is currently held by Yolanda Adrean, who has announced she will not run for re-election. District 8 includes the northern and western borders of Buckhead, including Chastain Park, Memorial Park and West Paces Ferry.
Tillman is a substitute teacher at The Galloway School in Buckhead and is a member of the Mt. Paran Northside Civic Association, she said in her candidacy announcement.
