Slow Down And Think
Unthinkable Trump would try to alter midterms? | Dana Barrett & Chris Harden aim to be on that ballot
Columnist Jay Bookman, Sec. State candidate Dana Barrett (D) & GA-10 candidate Chris Harden (D) all on the show.
Georgia Recorder columnist Jay Bookman digs into troubling signals from Trump (now and 2021) with a dystopian nightmare: the President sending the “National Guard or ICE agents to Fulton County, DeKalb County and other blue-trending areas, claiming massive fraud, seizing voting machines and voiding the election.”
I mean he’s only openly ask/telling reporters that “we shouldn’t even have an election.”
Meanwhile, with Brad Raffensperger (and Gabriel Sterling) aiming for higher office, the Secretary of State’s office will have no bosses, and Fulton County Commissioner Dana Barrett aims to be in charge. Dana joined the show to explain why she’s running for that role and shares plans to protect election security, voter access, and provide transparency.
Plus, Democratic congressional candidate Chris Harden (Georgia 11th) talks about his bid for a GOP-heavy lean district and why his poverty-to-law school-to-courtroom story makes him an ideal Democratic candidate for such a district.
Ron also unpacks Governor Brian Kemp’s State of the State address and the Democratic response, from tax cuts to education and infrastructure.
