One Love Christian urges spiritual awakening in Atlanta mayoral race on Pride

Dr. Helmut Lucero Love’s book and campaign unite spiritual and economic vision

ATLANTA, Ga. — On National Pride Day, Republican mayoral candidate Dr. Helmut Lucero Love calls Atlantans to celebrate pride with unity in One Love, a gay spiritual belief he details in the Pride month release of his book, Wake Up to Your Life Magic – Your Roadmap to Riches, Love and Happiness.

A healthcare technology executive whose innovations have generated over $750M in revenue and impacted over 2 billion lives, Love heralds that this moment in time calls for “a spiritual, economic and political awakening to unify Americans and the world in a common belief in Love.”

“As every tribe and tongue is blessed with gay, so it follows that the gay belief in One Love unites all faiths, nations, and races,” says Love. “Pride, the day of gay liberation, is a day of human liberation from sexual shame to embrace a common love that transcends gender, race, orientation, class and ultimately reveals the common thread in all faiths.  Human pride is best rooted in reaching our highest spiritual selves, no matter who we are, to progress our world into the next millennium. ”

Born to a German father raised in Berlin, whose parents resisted the Nazis, and to a Native American, Latin mother descended from Mexican revolutionaries-turned-missionaries who stole-from-the-rich to give-to-the-poor, Love is a Texas born native who has called Atlanta home for 15 years.  Love believes the word is at a prophetic, critical turning point. 

“We must reclaim the spiritual wisdom of all traditions—from the first born sacrifice of Christ to Mohammed to Hindu teacher to Buddha and beyond—to overcome our divisions, and to manifest a better world for our children.  Our future excellence and wealth sharing will only come through the personal fire of transformation, where the ego is humbled, at every level of society.”

Love, a father of three and award-winning podcast host, uses his book, Wake Up to Your Life Magic, as the foundation of both his campaign and business consulting philosophy. He teaches creator-being leadership excellence, essential for resilience in the age of AI, and champions gay spirituality, heroic masculinity, elevated morality, and merit-based wealth sharing.

In his mayoral bid, Love challenges Atlanta’s growing wealth gap stemming from long-standing fraud, waste, and abuse.  With a background leading turnarounds and growth in mega-million corporate divisions at General Electric, IBM Watson and McKesson, Love calls for new economic creativity.

His inititatives include private-public-university partnerships to create technical solutions that both solve the city’s greatest social ills and can be sold abroad, better harnessing Atlanta’s diverse “New Hollywood” influencer power to create more Georgia-based commerce, and revisiting state-wide initiatives in transportation.

Love says, With federal spending cuts and AI threatening the middle class, we need a new kind of innovative mindset to see Atlanta and Georgia through a challenging economic time. In times of financial hardship, we must lead with our brightest and best.”

Love’s Five Pillars for Atlanta:

  • Protect Our Unity – Heal political, racial, and spiritual divides through One-Love values.  See video.
  • Protect Our Economy – Address AI job loss, expand housing, build transportation with city-state alignment, and ensure flawless execution of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2028 NFL Super Bowl 
  • Protect Our People – Surgically remove waste; scale financial literacy and entrepreneurial investments with merit-based approaches like those Love has innovated at his nonprofit, The Gayly Impact.
  • Protect Our Integrity – Champion ethics reform, blind trusts, and transparency in politics with a unifying commitment first to the white of our American flag – its Purity and lack of corruption, before red or blue.
  • Protect Our Cars (from Potholes!) – Improve infrastructure with innovative partnerships.

“As a loving Republican working across the aisle,” says Love, “I’ll unite Black and White leadership with spiritually awakened wealth to build a modern-day Atlantis—an Atlanta that shows the world the love that MLK dreamt we would demonstrate at such a time as this.”
