GA's first openly transgender lawmaker heads to capitol. Who are they?

The midterm elections in Georgia were nothing short of historic. Democrat Jon Ossoff dominated the U.S. Senate race , securing another six years in Washington and pushing MAGA Republican Mike Collins out of public office (at least for now). Former mayor of Atlanta Keisha Lance Bottoms defeated billionaire Rick Jackson to not only become the first Democratic governor in more than three decades in Georgia, but also the state's first Black governor and the first Black woman to ever hold a governor's seat in the United States. Democrats also won all of the major state-wide races from Secretary of State to the Public Service Commission, solidifying Georgia as a key wave of the "Blue Tsunami" seen across the country. But while these major races secured their spots in the history books, another historic race was playing out in DeKalb County, part of the Atlanta metro. Bentley Hudgins dominates Georgia State House District 90 Democrat Bentley Hudgins , an openly transgender and nonbinary lawmaker, dominated their race for Georgia's 90th District seat in the state house, taking home more than 27,000 votes on Atlanta's east side. Hudgins was facing Republican Samantha Boston, who secured just 7.5% of the vote in the

AROUND TOWN: Georgia's new agriculture commissioner is a Snellville resident

The Blue Wave that washed through statewide offices and made history last week included a Gwinnett County connection. Georgia’s new Agriculture Commissioner, Katherine Juhan-Arnold, is a Snellville resident who founded Baby Katie’s Pharm and Kitchen. She defeated Republican incumbent Agiculture Commissioner Tyler Harper in last week’s elections and will be the first Black woman to hold the office. “The campaign may be over, but our work is just beginning,” Juhan-Arnold said after her victory. “We’re going to protect our farmers, strengthen our communities, stand up for consumers, protect our animals, steady our resources and build an Agriculture Department that works for every Georgian.” Baby Katie’s Pharm and Kitchen was set up to operate as a nonprofit farm to help low income families have access to fresh fruit and vegetables. It also works with families through education to help them grow their own food. Juhan-Arnold ran on a “Grow Georgia” platform of supporting market access for Georgia farmers, investing in infrastructure such as broadband for farms, protecting farmland, addressing the rising cost to run a farm in Georgia, supporting farm-to-school programs and regional food hubs, expanding international markets for Georgia-grown products and ensuring Georgia’s poultry and livestock supplies remain healthy so

Red Devils fall to Lamar County, but live to fight again

BARNESVILLE — When the Red Devils limped out of here Friday night, it looked like they might be walking off a football field for good. Danarri Brown went from dependable to determined to dejected, having poured heart, soul and leg into trying to extend Jackson’s season into the Class AAA playoffs. The Red Devils hung with Lamar County for a scoreless first quarter, then watched two things — the Trojans pull away for a 32-7 victory and the Georgia High School Association playoff bracket online. Despite losing to Lamar County for the sixth consecutive meeting, Jackson (4-6 overall, 3-4 in Region 2-AAA) got the help it needed elsewhere across the state, with victories by Mary Persons, South Atlanta, and Lumpkin County, among others. The GHSA computer, thus armed with all the information it needed, on Saturday awarded the Red Devils Class AAA’s final playoff berth, opposite top-seeded Appling County (10-0). Coach Thomas Clark learned how the brackets fell in a Zoom call about 3:15 on Saturday afternoon. “It’s always good when you make the playoffs,” Clark said. “I knew that we were at the bottom.” The Red Devils were rewarded for playing a tough schedule, but like most teams still

Conyers mayor calls for competitive pay for police officers

CONYERS — Conyers Mayor Connie Alsobrook says the city needs to take a closer look at police officer salaries to remain competitive with surrounding law enforcement agencies, emphasizing that strong training programs and a positive department culture may not be enough to attract and retain officers. During the Nov. 4 City Council meeting, Alsobrook raised concerns about compensation at the Conyers Police Department after attending the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference, where she participated in discussions about law enforcement training, officer safety, emergency preparedness, and recruitment. She said the experience reinforced her appreciation for the training and procedures already in place at the Conyers Police Department. Alsobrook said the city and Rockdale County rank near the bottom of metro Atlanta law enforcement agencies in compensation, citing positions of approximately 26th and 27th in a regional comparison. She did not identify the source of the rankings or specify whether they reflected starting salaries or overall compensation. "One of the things that we're going to have to figure out is how we compensate these people for doing the right thing, coming out, putting their lives on the line for us," Alsobrook said. She illustrated the challenge by recounting a conversation
