Indivisible Woodstock CAN, the local chapter of the national political activist group Indivisible, reports on the special election in state House District 23 in Cherokee County. Scott Sanders is the Democratic candidate.

Most people in Cherokee County want the same basic things: strong public schools, safe neighborhoods, and a community that still feels like home. We also want a representative who works for the people who actually live here.

On Tuesday, December 9, we have a chance to elect someone who reflects those values. Scott Sanders is the only candidate in this special election who is focused on practical problem solving, strong public schools, and the long term health of our community.

Scott’s district covers the eastern half of Cherokee County. It runs along the Highway 20 corridor between Canton and Cumming. It includes areas around East Cherokee Drive, Union Hill, Avery Elementary and Creekview High, and the rural roads south of Macedonia and north of Hickory Flat, stretching toward the Forsyth and Fulton county lines.

If you live east of Canton, west of Cumming, or anywhere along Highway 20, you might be in his district. Please check to be sure.

Scott is not a career politician. He is a tech professional, a father, and a neighbor who stepped up because he cares about Cherokee County. He understands that:

• Our schools need real investment and real advocacy.
• Families are struggling with rising premiums and basic healthcare costs.
• Reckless overdevelopment threatens farmland, back roads, and open space.
• First responders, libraries, parks, and other community resources are the backbone of safe, thriving neighborhoods.

This election comes down to one question: who actually cares about this community. Scott Sanders does. If everyone who shares those values shows up and votes, he wins.

Vote Tuesday, December 9. Vote for Scott Sanders.
