The head of the Forsyth County Republican Party announced she will run for higher office, and a former Forsyth County Board of Commissioners candidate will attempt to take her place. Forsyth County GOP Chair Carolyn Hall Fisher said she will not run for the position again because she is instead pursuing the state party’s first vice chair seat. Justin Hawkins, who ran for District 5 Commissioner in 2016, announced his intention to run for her soon-to-be-vacant position.
