Terry Short Jr. is running for a third term on Waynesboro City Council, this time running for the Ward B seat on the body.

Short talks with AFP editor Chris Graham about the 2024 race.

Short is one of three independents running for seats against a slate of Republicans hand-picked the sitting vice mayor, Jim Wood, the chairman of the Waynesboro Republican Committee.

Wood is the guy who was in national headlines last year for his homophobic slur of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Short was outspoken in his criticism of Wood, who stands to become mayor if the GOP slate is successful in next week’s voting.

That is, if we get the vote certified. Wood’s two appointees to the Waynesboro Electoral Board have filed a lawsuit saying they will not vote to certify the local vote absent a court order, raising issue in the suit with state election law.

We cover those topics and others, including housing affordability, education and economic opportunity, in this interview.
