Reviewing the televised GA gubernatorial debates: swipes, snipes & gripes
Shawn’s outlook, Kemp’s legacy & First Amendment concerns
Shawn Harris, Jay Bookman, Nora Benavidez and Sterling Thrill joined The Ron Show Friday.
Democratic Congressional candidate Shawn Harris, a retired brigadier general & current cattle rancher, got Ron up early to talk run-off and long term campaign strategy. Good news: he still sounds optimistic.
Georgia Recorder columnist Jay Bookman tapped in for a conversatio about the current and future legacy of Governor Brian Kemp. Is his pragmatic Republican style is fading as Georgia’s GOP shifts toward MAGA politics ahead of the 2026 races?
Nora Benavidez from the Georgia First Amendment Foundation shared her and her organization’s concerns about a proposed Georgia bill (SB 481) that could restrict public access to police body-cam footage and other law-enforcement videos.
Ron also highlighted an Oscar-nominated documentary backed by Soledad O’Brien that features a security guard protecting an Atlanta abortion clinic, and wrapped with comedian Sterling Thrill for the Friday Funnies.
