Happy election day! This is Jason Dennis at WTVM. Here's what we are working on for the news at 5 and 6!
With the polls open only two more hours in today's Georgia primary, we will have special election night LIVE team coverage. In one of the most contentious races that will determine the next leader of the Fountain City, we have a reporter at the camps of incumbent Mayor Teresa Tomlinson and challenger Colin Martin. We'll have results from all the races later tonight on WTVM, on our website, and on our social media pages.
We'll also have a Live report from the city services center with a look at whether the low voter turnout prediction held true. And stay tuned for reaction from candidates for the Muscogee County school board and a deeper look at Columbus city council races.
Nowadays, men - like women - are feeling the pressure to look thin and fit, sometimes going to the extremes to get perfect pecs and washboard abs. We preview a special report, airing later tonight - digging into the taboo subject of male eating disorders and the psychological effects that come along with a man's quest for the perfect BMI.
Tell your friends, then join us for these stories and more tonight at 5 and 6!
See ya then,
Jason Dennis
