Alabama House District 21
Forrest started his first company at 19 while studying engineering at UAB. In the makerspace, he learned to turn ideas into working systems, from 3D-printed prosthetics to N95 masks built during the pandemic.
He later founded Cicada, a software company that helps organizations turn complicated operations into clear, usable tools.
That is the method he brings to public service: understand the system, find where it fails, and build a fix people can measure.
Meet Forrest →From breaking the healthcare monopoly to protecting homes from Wall Street, fixing US 231, fully funding public schools, and making state government open its books. Forrest has a plan for every family in our district.
One system now controls every general hospital in and around Huntsville. Forrest supports reviewing the antitrust immunity that enabled consolidation, reforming Certificate of Need rules, requiring public financial disclosure, and applying public ethics and competitive-bid rules to health care authorities.

Read more →His experience in engineering, entrepreneurship, and data science, combined with his commitment to public service, makes him an ideal voice for District 21.

Long-term projects worth doing the work on.
Connect Huntsville to Mobile with stops in Birmingham and Montgomery so more Alabamians can reach jobs, schools, family, and opportunity without depending on a single highway trip.
Use North Alabama’s defense, engineering, and research base to compete for domestic chip manufacturing and the skilled jobs that come with it.
