In this example Randy Travis and Dontaye Carter are running for local offices in Georgia. One is running for city council while the other is running for mayor.

Randy Travis, formerly an impactful investigative reporter at Fox-owned WAGA in Atlanta, recently announced his bid for a seat on the Lawrenceville City Council. He aims to unseat Austin Thompson, who has held the post since 2021. "I spent all these years being a watchdog of government," Travis stated, "Instead of standing on the sidelines saying 'hey government, this is what you're doing wrong,' maybe now it’s time for me to be inside of government and trying to fix what’s wrong."

Former WXIA reporter Dontaye Carter is challenging incumbent Mayor Rusty Paul. Carter, who previously ran for mayor, emphasized his commitment: "The only thing that’s changed is shifting from this position of reporting what’s happened, to engaging in what’s happening, and engaging in a way that’ll make a difference for the entire community. What I show folks this time is I’m not a quitter."
