Local and state governments, though often overshadowed by federal government, have tremendous impact on our quality of life. This podcast provides a valuable service by educating people on how to improve their own quality of life through civic engagement. Various organizations encourage residents to register and vote, but it does not appear that anyone is showing voters how to make good decisions when they do. It feels akin to hiring someone for a job without reviewing the job description. Local Matters changes that narrative by educating voters with short, clear, and unbiased civics lessons from a career local government professional, public speaker, and management consultant.

    2024 Winners

    2024 Winners

    Today we discuss the winners and losers in Augusta's May 21 elections. By a wide margin, voters approved a referendum allowing the mayor to vote on all issues before the Augusta Commission. Incumbent Commissioners Jordan Johnson, Catherine Smith McKnight, and Francine Scott emerged victorious, as did District Attorney Jared Williams. Meanwhile, there will likely be a runoff for the Democratic nomination for Richmond County Sheriff and for a seat on the Superior Court. We examine why the winners won!
