Georgia’s lawmakers are back under the Gold Dome for the start of the 2024 legislative session, and Politically Georgia is live from the Georgia State Capitol. Hosts Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy bring you the latest as lawmakers begin 40 days of critical debate.

Senate Minority Leader Harold Jones joins the podcast to talk about Democratic priorities this session and how the party plans to recover after November’s tough losses.

We also highlight the rising political figures to watch this session as they build momentum for future statewide races.

Plus, Governor Brian Kemp is set for a high-profile week, addressing business leaders at the Eggs and Issues breakfast and preparing for his State of the State address.
