Adam Cleveland, husband, father, UGA alum, handyman-turned-lawyer is now also a politician - the Democratic nominee for state House District 48. He joined me Tuesday to explain why he felt he had to upend his ideal life to step into the fray to defend democracy in trying to help flip the Georgia House for the Democratic Party.

Georgia’s first baby box installed at Henry County fire station Georgia’s first baby box has been installed at the Henry County Fire Rescue Station No. 6 in Ellenwood, according to GPB News. A state law passed this year that allows places like hospitals and police and fire stations to install baby boxes for the anonymous surrender of infants.

Georgia’s EV industry expands despite fewer incentives for electric vehicle buyers Federal policy has reduced incentives to purchase electric vehicles, and the Georgia General Assembly has remained stagnant on policy that could encourage purchases by consumers.

Ariel Hart, writing for the Georgia Recorder and States' Newsrooms, covered the rollout of GOP gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson's healthcare coverage initiative in a piece Ron reviewed. Details are lacking while bluster and proclamations were offered in abundance. He did say he'd be 'Trump with a southern accent,' though, so that shouldn't be a surprise.

That said, his predilection for perpetrating himself as a military hero (despite avoiding service in the Vietnam era) and now with his post-9/11 behavior baffles us today because that sort of […]
PLUS: Rick Jackson's effective ads vs Keisha Lance Bottoms' retail style - which will win? The Rick Jackson campaign has taken a two-pronged approach in the race to be Georgia's next governor: portray him in a softer, more human role with his past foster advocacy while also running those nefarious-toned attack ads against his opponent. My take? It seems to be working, and polls show he's closed the gap his […]
