Kendall Fields was born and raised in Forsyth County, and now he wants to make a change here. This year he is running for the first time ever for the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners.
When he graduated from Mount Tabor High School in 2009, Fields moved to attend college to receive his bachelors and masters degrees.
