In This Week’s Sunday Edition

As our community moves closer to several important civic milestones, this week’s Courier Eco Latino Sunday Edition takes a deeper look at the issues, conversations and people shaping the future of Columbus and the Chattahoochee Valley.

Publisher Wane A. Hailes opens the edition with a powerful View from a Pew column titled “They Not Like Us,” reflecting on the growing generational divide in leadership and the lessons today’s emerging political voices must understand about service, sacrifice and the long road to meaningful change.

With the May 19 election approaching, the Sunday Edition also examines the stakes in one of the city’s most closely watched races. In “District 7 Cannot Afford Another Split Vote,” we break down the numbers and explore how division could once again shape the outcome in a district where unity may determine representation.

In another timely commentary, “Disinformation Doesn’t Always Knock — Sometimes It Joins the Meeting,” readers are encouraged to think critically about the rumors, narratives and political messaging circulating during campaign season and to separate facts from speculation before casting a ballot.

To help voters stay informed, we present “Your Vote Counts,” a practical guide to everything residents need to know about the May 19 election, including key races and what’s at stake for the community.

This week’s edition also highlights an important transition in Georgia politics. In “A Legacy of Service,” we reflect on the remarkable career of longtime Georgia Senator Ed Harbison, whose decades of leadership under the Gold Dome helped shape policy for West Central Georgia and championed military families and veterans.

Finally, we preview an upcoming celebration of leadership and empowerment as Girls Inc. of Columbus & Phenix-Russell prepares to host its Strong, Smart & Bold Luncheon, featuring Wesleyan College President Meaghan Blight.

As always, the Courier Eco Latino Sunday Edition remains committed to informing, inspiring and empowering the communities we serve.
