ELECTION 2022: Meet this year’s candidates

For the 2022 General Election, GwinnettForum asked all candidates facing opposition in Gwinnett County, plus all statewide candidates, to visit for 30 minutes so we could evaluate their candidacy. This qualified these candidates to answer six political questions in 100 words each. You can read their answers below by clicking on their name links below.  

Candidates with no opposition are not listed.
