Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! Today, we kick off Part 1 of our new mini-series, Breaking Away, exploring the municipalization of Sandy Springs. Joining us to discuss the legislative efforts behind the city's incorporation are former House Representative Wendell Willard and former Fulton County Commissioner Lynne Riley. Together, we take a deep dive into the behind-the-scenes work under the Gold Dome that made Sandy Springs a reality—an achievement that reshaped local governance in Georgia. For decades, residents of this northern Fulton County community fought for the right to govern themselves, facing resistance from county officials and state lawmakers. Their 30-year struggle, driven by issues of taxation, representation, and local control, ultimately led to a political showdown with lasting implications. In this episode, we'll examine the political battles, grassroots activism, and key figures who turned the dream of incorporation into reality in 2005. But Sandy Springs' story doesn't end there—its success sparked a wave of new city formations across metro Atlanta, reshaping the state's political and economic landscape. How did one community's determination change Georgia's approach to local governance? And what lessons can be learned from their experience? Join us as we unpack the history, controversy, and lasting impact of Sandy Springs' journey to cityhood in Breaking Away.

On today's special bonus episode, recorded live from the Road to Majority Conference in Washington, D.C., put on by the Faith and Freedom Coalition, I was able to sit down with Georgia State Senator Shawn Still. While new to public office, Shawn became instantly embroiled in the Big Fani Willis RICO case surrounding Donald Trump, having been also charged in that case. We spend the opening of the interview discussing how the indictment occurred and what he has been doing since to fight it. While a few people took plea deals to avoid the cost, Shawn is focused on clearing his name and in showing everyone that he is yet another victim of lawfare. Shawn is the owner and president of Olympic Pool Plastering & Shotcrete, the largest swimming pool subcontractor in the Southeastern US. He employs over 100 Georgians in his Gwinnett-based company. During his first legislative session, he sponsored or co-sponsored 75 of the 211 Senate bills signed into law. Shawn hit the ground running for the citizens of Georgia and the 48th district. His consistent voting record has drawn the attention of multiple conservative and business-oriented organizations who trust him to fight for good policy under the Gold Dome. He was named the 2023 freshman legislator of the year by the Georgia Chamber. Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.
