I got to spend time on the Wednesday show with Laura to learn about her background and campaign priorities. Hear […]
Mayors gather in Atlanta to address growing affordability crisis Mayors from across the U.S. gathered Thursday at Azalea Fresh Market in Atlanta to discuss the affordability crisis. Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens welcomed his peers with a unifying message that cities are working to make everyday life more affordable despite federal policies. “The affordability crisis is due in large part because of decisions that have been made in Washington, D.C., and […]
