Lorie Strother, a candidate for the Ward A seat on Waynesboro City Council, sits down for an interview with AFP editor Chris Graham to discuss the 2024 election.

The biggest issue facing the city involves the lack of affordable housing, which plays into the growth in the homeless population.

Strother, who was homeless herself as a teen, shares her perspective on what the city needs to do to address the housing and homelessness issues.

She also discusses her nine-year tenure on the Waynesboro Economic Development Authority, and what the city needs to do to continue to grow the local job base.
