On polling, ad buys, endorsements (and those not being made): Melita Easters weighs in on GA races
Melita Easters, executive director at the Georgia WIN List, joined The Ron Show Monday.
PLUS: the on-and-off again (brief) mifepristone mail ban. Melita shares her thoughts on that, as well.

The notably mentioned her organization only endorsing one statewide candidate in the primary season thus far, incidentally – that of Tanya Miller for attorney general.
