Retired Navy Captain Baron Reinhold announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for Gwinnett County Sheriff in Georgia. Despite lacking law enforcement experience, Reinhold believes that his military skills and leadership experience have prepared him for the job. To qualify for the position, Reinhold must obtain peace officer certification before the 2024 election. He intends to focus on crime-related issues in the county, such as drug and human trafficking, and to build trust between law enforcement and the community. Reinhold is looking to take over the role from Democrat Sheriff Keybo Taylor.

Despite facing challenges and injuries, Brookwood's girls pulled together to secure the victory.

A bill proposing $6,500 vouchers for Georgia students attending low-performing public schools is struggling to get through the General Assembly in the final days of this year's session. The House of Representatives tabled the bill that would create the vouchers, and it appears to lack the votes to pass. The Georgia Student Finance Commission would oversee the program, and parents would be required to live in Georgia for one year before availing their children of the scholarships. Democrats criticized the measure, arguing it would harm public schools, and school vouchers do not address the root causes of poor educational outcomes.
