Women answering the call to run in GA | The CASE for an unconventional candidate
GA Win List Executive Director Melita Easters & GA 7 Congressional candidate Case Norton joined The Ron Show today.
Ron launched into an important week, politically, in Georgia with Melita Easters, executive director of Georgia WIN List, who shared new data showing a record number of women running for office and Democrats competing in most legislative seats this cycle. They also discussed gerrymandering, crossover day at the Georgia legislature, election policy debates, and what – if anything – to make of sparse polling on the gubernatorial race.
RELATED: Trump White House reportedly blocking intelligence report warning of homeland security threats in midst of Iran war Case Norton, a union camera technician and congressional candidate in Georgia’s 7th District, joined Ron to explain why he’s running. Norton talked about the slowdown in Georgia’s film industry, losing health insurance during slowdowns, and why working-class representation and healthcare reform are central to his campaign.
Lastly, Ron reviewed a couple of notable op/eds: in them we have a conservative Ohio pundit whose views on immigration have made a complete 180 and a NYT conservative scribe who sees the lack of Christianity in today’s GOP leadership as James Talarico provides insight into what an outspoken Christian serving constituents while remaining aligned with his values can look like from the left.
