Georgia's 10th Congressional District has a shot at flipping — and Lexy Doherty is the candidate running to make it happen. In this episode of Breaking the Meta, Lexy breaks down the affordability crisis hitting rural Georgia, the federal government's plan to build a 10,000-person ICE detention facility in a small town of 5,000, and why she believes raising the minimum wage is the fastest thing Congress could do to change working people's lives.

Lexy also digs into campaign finance reform, the congressional stock trading scandal, term limits, bipartisan coalition-building, and what it actually looks like to hold Congress accountable from the inside. This is an independent, no-corporate-PAC-money campaign, the kind Breaking the Meta was built to platform.
