Winter is coming: for the Georgia PSC, so is commissioner Shelia Edwards
GA Senate’s looming ‘power struggle:’ meet one new Dem jumping into the fray
Senator-elect Darcy Castro, (D) GA-37, joined The Ron Show.
With Republicans clinging the slim 29-27 majority the next two years, incoming Democratic Lieutenant Governor Josh McLaurin will have some sway, himself, with the gavel in-hand, but he’s also going to need solid attendance from his Senate caucus and work to find common ground and/or broker deals with 1-2 GOP chamber mates.
While the state’s heavily gerrymandered state Senate map didn’t offer much hope for flips, Georgia Dems did make up ground, and one district delivering a pleasant surprise was the 37th – where Darcy Castro delivered defeat to the author of Georgia’s draconian six-week abortion ban.
I got to meet Darcy on the show Wednesday; now you get to, as well. Successful in her own right, and balancing being a mom and Air Force wife – adding to it now an elected state Senator, Darcy Castro sounds like she’s unflinching in her new role.
