For the past 15 years, Dick Yarbrough has gained a large following with his syndicated newspaper column which reaches some 600,000 households and more than 1.3 million readers each week throughout Georgia, making him the most widely-syndicated local columnist in the state.  The Georgia Press Association has twice named his column “Most Humorous.”

Yarbrough is known as a strong advocate for improving public education.  He also continues to push for stronger ethics legislation in the state.  In 2012, he received the Democracy Award from Common Cause Georgia.  “Dick Yarbrough has been a staunch supporter and advocate of meaningful ethics reform for our state and has humorously and effectively kept the issue alive in the hearts and minds of Georgia citizens,” said William Perry, Executive Director of Common Cause Georgia.

Writing a column is just one of Yarbrough’s talents. The Georgia native is an author of two books and a sought-after speaker on today’s circuit.
