Born in Alabama. Built to solve problems. Running to lead District 21 into a new day.
There is a saying "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 Public trust in institutions has been deeply fractured by outdated systems that serve a select few.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 is building public dashboards and open records — quarterly, in plain English — so families in our community can audit their government themselves.
Hard work
A representative is paid for forty hours a year of session. Forrest is committing to in-district work the other three hundred days — town halls, listening sessions, building the bills before they're filed.
Care & passion
The same instinct that started a medical-device company at nineteen — define the problem from the people inside it, not from the outside — is how this campaign approaches every plank: healthcare, housing, infrastructure, education, child care.
Equality
Our community runs on working families, rural neighbors, and people the system stopped noticing a long time ago. Forrest is building a campaign that listens to them first, not last.
Independence
This campaign is funded by neighbors, not corporate PACs. The quarterly public report on every dollar received and spent is how you'll know that didn't change in Montgomery.
Innovation
An engineer's habit is to ask what works, not what polls. Every plank starts with a mechanism — how the broken thing breaks the next thing — and ends with a build.

What brought me to this point.
Throughout my career, I've focused on creating meaningful impact, addressing issues others tend to overlook, and being present during critical moments. In the business world, leaders provide stakeholders with quarterly reports—detailing achievements, ongoing projects, and investment allocations. I plan to apply the same rigorous approach in Montgomery by delivering quarterly public updates, ensuring District 21 always knows precisely what their representative is doing for them.
