Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast. On today’s episode, Sen. Shawn Still joins us to help us pay our respects to Bruce Thompson, Georgia’s Labor Commissioner, who passed away on November 24th at the age of 59. Known for his tireless dedication to public service, Thompson’s career was marked by a passion for empowering Georgians through innovative labor policies and economic opportunity. Thompson built a legacy as a successful entrepreneur and small business owner, excelling in the insurance and financial services industries. His business acumen laid the foundation for his public service, as he sought to improve the lives of Georgia's workers and employers alike. Thompson was first elected to the Georgia State Senate in 2013, representing the 14th District, where he served for a decade before being elected Labor Commissioner in 2022. During his tenure, he championed efforts to modernize the Georgia Department of Labor, streamline unemployment services, and promote workforce training programs to address the evolving needs of the state’s economy. Beyond his professional achievements, Thompson was a devoted family man and community leader, deeply involved in civic and charitable initiatives. He is survived by his wife, Becky, his children, Faith and Max, his adopted father, Dr. Austin Flint, his brother, Jason Sluggett, and his sister, Tonya Bruce. His legacy of service, innovation, and compassion will long be remembered by those whose lives he touched.

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! We are back with Part 2 of our panel conversation on the state of the feminism movement. Make sure to listen to Part 1 first if you missed it! We've gathered an exceptional panel of guests to join Craig in discussing this topic. Daelen Lowry makes her highly anticipated return to the show, joined by Janelle King, host of The Janelle King Show and a member of the state election board; Dominique Deming, a soon-to-be-ordained Episcopal priest; and Dr. Kathryn Turman, currently a teacher at the Atlanta International School. Feminism is a movement advocating for gender equality. It continues to evolve, reflecting diverse global challenges. In recent years, intersectional feminism has gained prominence, addressing the interconnectedness of gender with race, class, and sexuality. While significant strides have been made, such as improved access to education and workplace equity, systemic issues persist, including gender-based violence and wage gaps. Social media has amplified feminist voices, fostering activism and awareness, yet it also exposes backlash and polarization. Emerging feminist discourses emphasize inclusivity and challenge traditional norms, striving for a world where equality transcends boundaries and every individual can thrive without gender-based constraints.

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! On today’s show, Chris Carr announces first for governor, Kelly Loeffler gets a nomination, and Mack Jackson’s challenger not going away yet. First up, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr has announced his candidacy for the 2026 gubernatorial race, aiming to succeed term-limited Governor Brian Kemp. Carr, a Republican, emphasized job creation, public safety, and defending constitutional freedoms as central themes of his campaign. President-elect Donald Trump has nominated former Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler to lead the Small Business Administration (SBA) in his upcoming administration. Loeffler, known for her business acumen and close ties to Trump, previously served in the Senate and was a significant donor to Trump’s 2024 campaign. Republican Tracy Wheeler is challenging her 48-vote loss to Democrat Mack Jackson in Georgia’s House District 128, citing alleged voting irregularities. Her lawsuit claims ineligible voters participated, eligible voters were excluded, and ballots were wrongly rejected. If proven, a new election could be ordered. The Georgia GOP supports the challenge, citing redistricting errors. Jackson won by 0.2%, with results certified last week. Georgia lawmakers may revisit revising the 1985 Quality Basic Education Act, spurred by a new audit revealing inefficiencies in school funding. The report highlights a 30% rise in administrative expenses from 2019-2023, outpacing inflation, and inconsistent links between spending and student outcomes. Previous reform attempts stalled, but this data could reignite debate on addressing districts' diverse needs. Underhyped/Overhyped, Play-Along-at-Home and much more on today’s jam packed episode!

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! On today’s show, we discuss the state of the feminism movement, what it has accomplished, where it has fell short, and where in the wake of Kamala Harris’s defeat this month – where it goes from here.

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! On today’s show, Nikema Williams faces pressure to step down as party chair and Georgians join the Trump administration. First up, Nikema Williams has informed people around her that she backs a policy change that could pave the way for her to step down as chair of the Democratic Party of Georgia, following pressure from activists, donors, and officials after Donald Trump's victory. According to allies familiar with her stance and texts obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, she has indicated to supporters that she will support a change to the party's bylaws making the chair position a full-time role, potentially allowing her to save grace and leave the post within months if party officials approve the change. In the newly forming Trump administration at least two Georgians are taking on key roles: Former congressman Doug Collins has been tapped to the Veterans Affairs lead and former Senator Kelly Loeffler will co-Chair Trump’s inaugural committee. Are there more Georgians to come? Also, the Republican’s presidential transition team is reportedly planning to kill the $7,500 consumer EV tax credit program President Joe Biden signed into law in 2022. A spokesman for Gov. Brian Kemp applauded the move by saying the Biden administration’s policies have resulted in the government picking “winners and losers.” However, Georgia’s two largest economic development projects are both electric vehicle (EV) factories, and Georgia has also attracted a variety of auto suppliers, battery manufacturing facilities, and other corporate investments throughout the battery supply chain.
