Bringing back a favorite episode from season one with a COVID-era reprise, we sit down with a newly-elected commissioner and a veteran commissioner to hear their perspectives, see what they’ve learned, and what we can learn from them about their time in office. Our seasoned commissioner, with a decade of experience holding office, is Burke County Commissioner and NCACC 2nd Vice President Johnnie Carswell; and our newcomer is first-term Chatham County Commissioner Franklin Gomez Flores.
