Where and Why
Ep. 14: Wade Herring, lawyer, community volunteer, former candidate for Congress
Welcome to Where & Why, a podcast where we surface the origin stories of community leaders and influencers.
Today we are in conversation with Wade Herring, whose day job is as an employment lawyer with the storied Savannah firm Hunter McClean.
Wade, whose mentors included former mayor Malcom McClean, has served on and advised numerous community boards. But most people know Wade for when he stepped out from behind the curtain to run as the Democratic candidate for Georgia's First Congressional seat in 2022. He lost to incumbent Buddy Carter.
Wade's story begins in Europe where his father was serving in the military.
