Born in Alabama. Built to solve problems. Running to lead District 21 into a new day.
The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born — but that transition is over. The new world is here. Public trust in institutions has been deeply fractured by outdated systems that serve a select few. The federal government has abandoned communities like ours, and at the state level we are met with apathy. Forrest Satterfield is not here to promise a return to a bygone era. He is here to lead District 21 into a new day. Forrest is a UAB-trained biomedical engineer and serial entrepreneur who founded his first startup at age 19. From 3D-printed prosthetics to supplying N95 masks for frontline healthcare workers during COVID-19, he has spent his career solving real problems for real people.

The values that drive everything we do
Three values guide every decision Forrest makes as a candidate and as a future representative — and they are the same values that have guided every company he has built.
Transparency
You deserve to know exactly where your tax dollars go. Forrest will fight for public dashboards and open records so District 21 families can hold their government accountable.
Hard work
Forrest has worked long hours building companies that created real products and real jobs. He brings that same drive and discipline to every challenge and won't stop until the work is done.
Care & passion
Forrest got into engineering because he wanted to help people. That purpose drives everything from affordable prosthetics to COVID equipment to this campaign for District 21.
Equality
Every voice matters in District 21. Forrest will be a representative for working families, rural communities, and anyone who feels left behind by a government that only works for the powerful.
Freedom
District 21 deserves a representative who isn't beholden to corporate donors. Forrest will always put community needs before special interests.
Innovation
Forrest brings an engineer's practical, problem-solving mindset to Montgomery, asking what works instead of what polls well, and building real solutions for District 21.

What has Forrest previously achieved?
Forrest has spent his career building things that matter, solving problems others walked past, and showing up when it counted most. In business, leaders give their stakeholders quarterly reports — here is what I did, here is what I am working on, here is where your investment went. Forrest will bring that same discipline to Montgomery, publishing quarterly public updates so District 21 always knows exactly what their representative is doing on their behalf.
