Jonathan Bonner is making his case for Georgia House District 68 — and this conversation gets into the real reasons why.He opens up about navigating life as a single parent and losing his father last August, and how grief brought elder care from an abstract policy issue to something deeply personal. That lived experience shapes the way he talks about what government should actually do for people.We dig into labor rights and union organizing, chronically underfunded schools, and the idea that food, housing, and financial stability shouldn’t feel like luxuries. Jonathan also weighs in on cannabis legislation and the stark contrast between extreme wealth in Georgia and the reality most people are living.The throughline: stop thinking in terms of left versus right, and start asking who actually holds the power — and who it’s being used for.

Jyot Singh is running for Georgia House District 97, and we get into what led him here. He’s been organizing since 2016 with 10 years of experience actually showing up and doing the work. If elected, he’d be the first Indian and Sikh in Georgia’s state legislature.

In this episode - We talk about why he believes the House can flip in the next two cycles and what it’ll take to make that happen.

Some issues go beyond party lines and it’s time to rethink who we’re trying to reach.

Josh McLaurin represents State Senate District 14 and is running for Lieutenant Governor, and we get into what that role actually does. It’s the second highest office in Georgia and has real power over what moves forward.

We talk about how he uses facts and humor to reach people, and how his approach has shifted as politics has gotten more extreme, including calling out what’s happening at the federal level and how it shows up here in Georgia.

He breaks down his bill to stop predatory booting, plus why local issues like that matter more than people think.

We also get into messaging, staying authentic, and actually meeting voters where they are. And where there’s already common ground, like expanding Medicaid, restoring reproductive freedoms, and tackling income inequality.
