13WMAZ is bringing you answers to questions you have for candidates based on the information viewers gave us during the 2024 Listening Labs.  

This election cycle, we're incorporating the results we gathered from the Listening Lab surveys Central Georgians filled out earlier in the year. 

In Bibb County, the top 5 issues participants pointed out were: violent crime, inflation, road conditions, good-paying jobs, poverty, and homelessness.
