Sidney Anne Waters, a pizza shop owner in Athens, Georgia, said she decided to run for office in a push for transparency from the local government.

A small business owner in Athens, Georgia, is taking matters into her own hands to change local politics, demanding transparency in the community after the murder of nursing student Laken Riley. Sidney Anne Waters, who owns Mama Sid's Pizza, joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss why she decided to throw her hat in the ring to become part of the Athens-Clarke County Commission.

Although the state doesn't allow cities to become sanctuaries for migrants, critics have pointed to a 2019 resolution in which the government welcomed 'people from all lands and backgrounds,' including illegal immigrants. Girtz signed the resolution in August 2019. He was repeatedly heckled during the heated press briefing, with protesters calling him a 'liar' with 'blood on your hands' and demanding his resignation.
