MACON, Ga. — Have you ever heard candidates out campaigning and thought, “I wish they’d talk about this issue in my neighborhood," or “Why won’t anyone answer this question I have?"
Now is your chance to get the candidates to talk about what is important to YOU.
This March, the 13WMAZ Listening Lab returns! We’re traveling to multiple locations around Central Georgia to find out what issues are important to you and your neighbors.
All you have to do is show up and tell us what’s on your mind.
In an election year, there are many issues that people are passionate about but sometimes the issues that matter most are the ones that impact you at home.
This year, major seats are up for grabs on the local, state and national level including the race for the White House, big state house races, and several major sheriff’s races.
In Central Georgia, Sheriff David Davis has several potential challengers, in Houston County contenders have emerged to replace the nation’s longest-serving sheriff, Cullen Talton.
There are also a number of other local positions up for election too.
Here’s where you can join us for one of our Listening Lab sessions to make sure your voice is heard in this election:
