Ralston is currently Speaker of the State House of Representatives. Both candidates reside in North Georgia with Ralston in Fannin county and Snider in Gilmer. The 7th district is made up of Gilmer, Fannin, and a small portion of Dawson County.FYN sat down this week with Sam Snider and asked why he is running and why he feels the 7th district needs a new representative. In the video interview Snider answers these questions and many more. FYN understands that Speaker Ralston will be busy in legislative session until March 20 but FYN has extended an invitation to his office for a video interview as soon as his schedule permits.
