This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

Non-supporting references removed, Career section needs work.

From the Early life and education section I removed the following references which did not seem to support the biographical facts they were attached to. But they might be useful for something else. Mainor's biography was attested by the legislative biography, the first reference in the article. I removed a lot of puffery and vast overlinking. Here are the removed refs:

Murphy, Patricia; Bluestein, Greg; Mitchell, Tia. "The Jolt: Democrats threaten primary against centrist Atlanta lawmaker". Political Insider (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution). Retrieved 2023-06-16.
Catts, Everett (2019-03-11). "Nine candidates contending for District 3 Atlanta City Council seat". Marietta Daily Journal. Retrieved 2023-06-16.
Chidi, George (2021-05-19). "The Mesha Mainor Interview". The Atlanta Objective with George Chidi. Retrieved 2023-06-16. (This reference required registration to read it.)

The Career section needs work. The section emphasizes what seem to have been brief stints working in DC, and doesn't say much about what seems to be the next 2 decades in the physical therapy area in Atlanta.
