Former state senator and 2014 Democratic nominee for governor Jason Carter joins Politically Georgia host Greg Bluestein to discuss why he’s endorsing Jason Esteves for governor, how Democrats can compete statewide, and what lessons his party should take from Georgia’s political shifts. Carter also reflects on his family’s health challenges and the legacy of his grandfather, President Jimmy Carter. Then Tia Mitchell joins Greg to tackle listener questions about Georgia Power rate hikes, the Public Service Commission race, judicial elections, and Hatch Act violations inside the federal government.
