Politically Georgia

Michael Thurmond on His Run for Georgia Governor


Listen Later

On this episode of Politically Georgia, hosts Greg Bluestein, Patricia Murphy, and Tia Mitchell sit down with former DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond, who recently entered the Democratic race for Georgia governor. Thurmond reflects on lessons from past campaigns, his vision for bridging political divides, and the urgent issues he says Georgia must address — from Medicaid expansion to rural economic recovery. He also shares his reaction to the recent tragic shooting at the CDC and why he believes the 2026 governor’s race is one of the most important in state history.
