The Current’s Editor-In-Chief, Margaret Coker, will delve into the outcomes of the November elections and what they mean for the state and Coastal Georgia. From shifts in political dynamics to the impact on local communities and policy directions, she will discuss voter turnout, civic engagement and key issues that matter to the Peach State.

She has won numerous national journalism prizes for investigative, business and diplomatic reporting as well as feature writing. She led a team of Wall Street Journal reporters named as finalists for the Pulitzer Prize in International Reporting in 2017.
