America turns 250, and Georgia politics is not taking the holiday week off. Scot Turner and Buzz Brockway break down the latest in the Georgia governor's race, including Rick Jackson's push for Republican unity, the lingering divide with Burt Jones, Shelley Winter's endorsement, and the Jackson campaign's increasingly sharp social-media game against Keisha Lance Bottoms.

Gov. nominee Greg Dolezal about the election-bill compromise, Senate negotiations, and how quickly assumptions can change under the Gold Dome.

Welcome back to this continuation of last week's conversation. Whether you love politics, hate politics, or simply wonder what's really going on behind the headlines, today's episode is one you're going to find fascinating. My guest is Phil Kent, a man who has spent decades at the center of Georgia's political, business, and media landscape. He's the publisher of James Magazine⁠, CEO of InsiderAdvantage Georgia⁠, and a familiar face to many as a longtime panelist on the popular television program Georgia Gang. Over the course of his career, Phil has worked in Washington, D.C., served as press secretary to U.S. Senator Strom Thurmond, spent decades in journalism, and built relationships with many of the political and business leaders who have helped shape Georgia into one of the most influential states in America. And make no mistake, Georgia matters! From high-profile Governor and Senate races, to economic development, technology, agriculture, tourism, and the rapid growth transforming communities across the state, Georgia often finds itself at the center of national conversations. The decisions being made today will influence the future of our state for years to come. In this conversation, we'll talk about the origins of James Magazine, how Georgia politics has evolved over the years, what Phil sees on the horizon for upcoming elections, and why the Peach State continues to attract businesses, investment, and attention from around the country. We'll also pull back the curtain a bit on the world of political journalism and commentary, and maybe even find out what really happens when the cameras stop rolling on Georgia Gang. So whether you're a political junkie, a business leader, or simply a Georgian who wants to better understand where our state is headed, settle in, because today, we're going beyond the headlines and talking with someone who's spent a lifetime helping write them!

It's now abundantly clear that not only are the Georgia Republican Party's two Senate options of poor candidate quality with mid-20th century 'Jim Crow' vision, they're corrupt. Even worse for the Georgia GOP, they're golden boy - governor Brian Kemp - has been pulled into the woodchipper and exposed as well. With good local journalism disappearing - even in major hubs like Atlanta - it's important to pay attention to when it's still covering stories like these. The whole "Dooley-Kemp-other Dooley money funnel" story brought to light last week by WXIA-TV's Doug Richards was actually touched on in a Substack piece by Georgia Politics & Polling (no author named). Still, hat-tip!That sullies the already mediocre shine on the campaign of failed football coach Derek Dooley, son of UGA football legend Vince. It's also tarnished the perception that Brian Kemp is an unblemished 'rising star' with 2028 aspirations. Rep. Mike Collins, however, has long seemed to have issues with the company he keeps - notably his chief staffer and campaign manager Brandon Phillips. If Brandon's not making repulsive statements about rape victims being "sloppy seconds," he's making sure his girlfriend gets paid via taxpayer dollars through an internship where she did nothing. Then there's another staffer - Kip Talley - working double-time to free a Holocaust-denier - and bragging he'd do so in a group chat.A whole lot of 'ick' on that run-off ballot.- - - Speaking of run-offs, I'd opted not to weigh in on Georgia Democratic run-offs because I don't see bad options; but the lieutenant governor's race calls for commentary. Listen, I've no issues with ambition, but former Senator Nabilah Parkes put hers above her constituents, and her debate performance did little to make her look as a) a superior choice or b) a likable candidate (and she's a likable person, so that's baffling). Leaving your post is one thing; leaving the middle of a General Assembly session is another. Trying to explain that your absence means nothing because the other side is the majority and will ram new maps through anyway smacks of 'defeatism' and her opponent, state Senator Josh McLaurin is right to point that out.
