Hosts Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy talk with two Democratic candidates for governor who are pitching sharply different visions for Georgia’s future. In Segment 1, Greg sits down with state Rep. Ruwa Romman, who argues her campaign sparked the election’s affordability debate. She outlines her plans for expanding Medicaid, raising the minimum wage, reforming tax credits, and pushing corporations to “pay their fair share” as Georgians struggle with rising costs.

In Segment 2, Patricia is joined by state Rep. Derrick Jackson, who says his military and corporate background uniquely qualifies him to lead the state. Jackson discusses immigration fears he’s hearing on the trail, why he believes Georgia needs a “commander in chief” governor, and his proposals for tackling affordability through tax exemptions, minimum-wage increases, and statewide housing reforms.
