Moving Forsyth Forward. Together.

In this episode, we dive into Georgia State Senate District 48—one of the most competitive and closely watched races in the state. We explain where the district is, how it’s changed over time and why it’s considered a top Democratic pickup opportunity. We also sit down with Democratic primary candidates Laura Murvartian and Nathan Hombroek to talk about their campaigns and priorities. Finally, we share a quick update on the ongoing paper ballot debate and what it could mean for upcoming elections in Georgia.

In this episode, we cover the “No Kings” protest in Forsyth County—and what it signals about growing civic engagement and momentum for Democratic candidates. We also break down the end of Georgia’s legislative session (Sine Die), highlighting key wins like new literacy funding and a needs-based scholarship program, along with concerning developments like a bill that could make certain races nonpartisan in Democratic counties. Finally, we unpack a looming election issue that remains unresolved: Georgia’s voting system is on track for confusion after lawmakers banned QR codes without a clear plan to replace the current machines that rely on them.

In this episode, we break down what did—and didn’t—make it through Georgia’s Crossover Day and what that means for voters in Forsyth County. We discuss the failure of a controversial paper ballot bill, the progress of legislation like SB 74, and how “zombie bills” can still resurface before the end of the session. We also address recent controversy surrounding Senator Greg Dolezal, including an AI-generated video widely criticized as Islamophobic, and unpack the broader implications of misinformation in politics. Finally, we cover the opening of Forsyth County’s new administration building, the debate over funding priorities like the shelved mental health center, and the growing momentum of Democratic candidates across Forsyth County and Georgia.

In this episode, we take a closer look at what’s happening in Georgia politics — and what it means for our community. We discuss the visibility (or lack thereof) of Representative Rich McCormick (GA-07), break down Georgia Senate Bill 74 and its implications for public libraries, parents, and local control, and unpack SB 189, the 2024 election law that changes how ballots are tabulated and could impact midterm elections in our state. If you care about access to books, voting rights, and staying informed about decisions that affect Georgians, this conversation is for you.
