The good, the bad & the petty in GA’s last legislative week | Meet the 27-year old progressive US House hopeful
Caitlyn Gegen, canaidate for Congress, joined The Ron Show Tuesday.
We’re in the final days of the 2026 Georgia General Assembly legislative session, and with vacated seats & a mad rush to jam in some awful bills, the pressure’s on – mostly on beleaguered Democrats to hold off the worst. Georgia Recorder reporters provide a nice summation of what’s still alive, what could be revived and what’s off the table (for now).
Get this, though: some GOP legislators may be seeing their items get snubbed by Lt. Governor Burt Jones in retaliation for those lawmakers endorsing Rick Jackson in the GOP gubernatorial primary. Jackson even told supporters lawmakers are afraid of being seen with him because of Jones’ alleged intimidatory tactics.
Meanwhile, the anti-Jones ‘Georgians for Integrity’ got bad news from the state ethics commission – for whatever that’s worth this late in the soap opera.

Meet Caitlyn Gegen, 27-year old (double) UGA grad who also graduated from the London School of Economics and Political Science. She’s running for Georgia’s 9th Congressional district seat currently held by Andrew Clyde, and she’s running as an unabashed progressive option for Democrats in the upcoming primary. Hear her explain why she believes that may bring voters outside the party to vote for the party.
