Though the election of Athens-Clarke County’s next mayor is just under a year away, two candidates have already entered the race.

Dexter Fisher has represented District 5 on the Athens-Clarke County Commission since 2023, after retiring from a career in public service. He announced in June that he will run for mayor of the county. He sat down with WUGA’s Emma Auer to discuss his qualifications, and his thoughts on how to solve some of the county’s most pressing issues.

Emma Auer is an award-winning reporter who joined WUGA as a full-time producer in 2024. She is also a graduate student in UGA's Romance Languages Department, studying French and Spanish. She covers the breadth of Northeast Georgia stories, from Athens City Hall to Winterville farmers' markets. Emma's work has also been heard on Georgia Public Broadcasting.
