The Kicker

Early Voting, Judicial Races, and All About House District 25


Listen Later

We break down everything Forsyth Democrats need to know before the May primary election, including where to vote early and why Georgia’s Supreme Court races are especially important this year. We also discuss Congressman Rich McCormick’s upcoming town hall and planned protest activities outside the event.

Then we take a deep dive into Georgia House District 25 — one of Forsyth County’s key legislative districts — including the record of incumbent Todd Jones and interviews and updates on Democratic challengers Metin Vargonen and Elaine Padgett.
