Democratic gubernatorial candidate Olu Brown joined the show to tackle Ron’s queries on viability and the scant polling that doesn’t have him on their radar. He spoke of his grassroots activism translating to his campaign while championing voting rights, education reform, healthcare expansion, and how he plans to tackle housing and transportation challenges across the state.
Later, Jack Zibluk, a Democratic candidate in Georgia’s State Senate District 53 race, discussed his runoff campaign and the strategy to boost turnout in northwest Georgia. Ron also took a closer look at the special election in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District and what they mean for Shawn Harris’ short-and-long term viability.
Later, Ron reviewed Senate subcommittee testimony from David J. Bier of the CATO Institute, who confirmed – much to Senator Lindsey Graham’s chagrin – that immigrants – including the undocumented – have lessened the federal debt by more than $14 trillion in the last three decades.
