“Traditional license plate readers were developed in the 1950s and 60s,” says Garrett Langley of Flock Safety. “But you can go into Flock and say I'm looking for a black Sedan with after-market tires and a dent on the left corner, and we will find that car.” On this episode of How To Really Run A City, our hosts chat with Langley about his innovative and cost-saving approach to public safety, which made national headlines last year by promptly apprehending a would-be Trump assassin and an Atlanta mass shooter. After being the victim of a robbery in his own neighborhood, Langley reimagined vehicle surveillance and built a company that operates alongside thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country. “I love citizen entrepreneurs who are in the civic problem-solving business,” Larry Platt told former mayors Kasim Reed and Michael Nutter. “That's who this guy is.” Join us for a deep dive into an idea that keeps cities safer while avoiding the typical pitfalls of street surveillance.  As cities go, so goes the nation!

Vice President Kamala Harris chooses Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate in the 2024 presidential election.  On today's episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia, hosts Greg Bluestein, Patricia Murphy and Bill Nigut look at Harris' choice of running mate and the official Democratic ticket.

In part two of our latest episode of How to Really Run a City podcast, former Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed and former Philly mayor Michael Nutter hear more rhetorical gems from bestselling author and public intellectual Michael Eric Dyson ... who has some, uh, soulful theories about how to win elections and govern cities.

In part two of our latest episode of How to Really Run a City podcast, former Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed and former Philly mayor Michael Nutter hear more rhetorical gems from bestselling author and public intellectual Michael Eric Dyson ... who has some, uh, soulful theories about how to win elections and govern cities. Let's call it the Bobby Womack school of governance.

On this episode of How To Really Run A City, we join Larry Platt, Kasim Reed and Michael Nutter as they sit down with Charles Blow, columnist for The New York Times and author of the 2021 book The Devil You Know: A Black Power Manifesto and last year's companion HBO documentary, South to Black Power. Blow makes the case for a type of new Black Power movement by calling for a Black migration to the South. The mayors and their guest dive deep into the risks run when politicians focus on philosophical debates over day-to-day issues like jobs and the economy.

When former Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey joined us at our most recent Ideas We Should Steal Festival for a live taping of The Citizen's How to Really Run a City podcast, the crowd expected Ramsey to address just how, under the leadership of then-Mayor Michael Nutter, he oversaw a record low crime rate. Ramsey, after all, has more than 50 years of law enforcement knowledge and service. He co-chaired President Obama's Task Force on 21st Century Policing. He's currently the Principal Deputy Monitor for the Federal Consent Decrees in Baltimore and Cleveland, a law enforcement analyst for CNN, and a Distinguished Policy Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania School of Law. So in this episode, Ramsey and co-hosts Nutter, Kasim Reed, and Larry Platt lean into the tough questions: How much of a police chief's job is about reversing public opinion? What's the secret to making citizens feel safe in all corners of their city? And what's the most important trait any Mayor should look for when hiring a police chief? (Hint: It's not shooting accuracy.) Over the course of the rollicking episode, the hosts addressed these questions and more. And because you asked for it, Commissioner Ramsey agreed to join the podcast again in a few weeks, to answer the many questions we didn't have time for the first go around. So, buckle in for Part 1 here, then stay tuned for Part 2 of How to Really Run a City with Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey. We're excited to bring you both episodes of this meaningful conversation, because if we really want cities to thrive, first we have to make them safe. And if anyone can unlock the secrets for doing so, it's Ramsey.

“You know about the handshake, right?” Mayor Michael Nutter says. “You gotta get up in that web. You gotta own the handshake.” Mayor Kasim Reed agrees, saying that Nutter once also taught him an ancillary move: One hand on the shoulder while the other clasps the hand.  Get insider tips, like the anatomy of the mayoral handshake, from these former two-term mayors. They also compare notes on how to lead with swagger, and on the mentors who convinced them they really could lead their respective cities.  Your hosts then welcome current third-term D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser who shares what it takes to navigate the many obstacles to smart policy and governing in a city that is also (effectively) a county and state — and how she keeps focused on her goal of fueling economic prosperity without leaving anyone behind.

Alarmingly, in a city that is 44 percent Black, Black-owned businesses with payroll represent less than 3 percent of the businesses in our ecosystem. In our 5th episode, hosts Larry Platt, Michael Nutter and Kasim Reed come to you with a live episode as they sit down with Newark, NJ, Mayor Ras Baraka and Nowak Metro Finance Lab's Bruce Katz – two experts who have a litany of solutions to one of the most pressing issues facing cities today: closing the wealth gap by creating and supporting Black businesses.

With a focus on gun violence reduction strategies,  hosts Michael Nutter, Kasim Reed, and Larry Platt welcome David Muhammad, Executive Director of the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform, for an alternately heart-wrenching and heartwarming episode.

Hosted by Larry Platt, former Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter and former Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed, this podcast answers the age-old question: How does a city really get shit done

In 1981, Cochran began his career as a firefighter with the Shreveport Fire Department in Louisiana. After multiple promotions, he was appointed fire chief in 1999. In 2008, he was appointed fire chief of the City of Atlanta Fire Rescue Department. The following year, President Barack Obama appointed him United States Fire Administrator. Cochran was re-appointed by Mayor Kasim Reed as Fire Chief of the City of Atlanta in 2010. He later served for five years as Chief Operating Officer of Elizabeth Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. In his personal capacity, Cochran wrote a book for a men's Bible study at his church which referenced traditional marriage. A lawsuit was brought against him and he was fired from his role as Atlanta fire chief even though an investigation revealed no evidence of discrimination. ADF represented Chief Cochran in a suit filed against the city in federal court to protect his rights, including freedom of speech and freedom of religion, and protest his unjust termination. In October 2018, the city of Atlanta agreed to pay Cochran $1.2 million in the wake of a federal court ruling in his favor.

Preston is BACK in the host chair after weeks down at the Capitol and it is another jam packed episode on The Georgia Politics Podcast with Craig and Megan. Kicking off the show is the long anticipated announcement that Stacey Abrams is officially in the race for the Democratic nomination for the 2022 Georgia Governor's election. The crew discuss the timing, what's next, and what this could mean for incumbent Governor Brian Kemp. Speaking of Brian Kemp…the rumblings continue that former Senator David Perdue will launch a challenge to Governor Kemp for the Republican nomination. How does Stacey Abrams official entrance to the race change Senator Perdue's calculus, if at all, and how might Governor Kemp be able to ward off a challenger that has President Trump's backing? ***Show note: It looks like David Perdue is now officially in the race.*** And last, but not least, Andre Dickens is the next Mayor of Atlanta after he defeated Felicia Moore in last week's runoff. Mayor Elect Dickens, who narrowly beat former Mayor Kasim Reed to make the runoff, win the runoff by a wide margin. The panel discuss how he did it and what can be learned about today;s Atlanta politics by the outcome. Overhyped/Underhyped, Play-Along-At-Home and much more on this week's episode of The Georgia Politics Podcast.

On the podcast today, Hans guest hosts alongside Craig and Megan to discuss a busy two weeks in politics. The Atlanta mayoral race has turned to a runoff…and Kasim Reed is not in it. After a surprising third place finish, the former mayor is on the outside looking in as Felicia Moore and Andre Dickens place one and two in last November's general election. Elsewhere in Georgia, we saw wider than expected margins in notable mayoral and city council races, particularly in the suburbs. Craig reasons that this is a reflection of Republican strength and poor candidate recruitment from democrats. Finally, the show turns to the election night results in Virginia and New Jersey, where Democrats lost huge ground compared to the 2020 Presidential results. In Virginia, Republican Glenn Youngkin upset Democrat and former Governor Terry McAuliffe in the Governors race and are favored to take back the house of delegates when absentee and mail in votes are finalized. In New Jersey, a typically Democratic stronghold, incumbent Governor Phil Murphy held off a challenge from Republican Jack Ciattarelli in a state that saw Joe Biden win by 16 points. What does this mean for the 2022 midterms across the country, but specifically here in Georgia, where Sen. Raphael Warnock is running for a full term? Candidate Corner, Overhyped/Underhyped, Play-Along-At-Home and much more on this week's episode of The Georgia Politics Podcast.

Meanwhile, Texas GOP legislators have shown how redistricting can be used as a blunt instrument for partisan gain. In other news, national NAACP leaders sharply criticize the organization's Atlanta leader for his scathing attack on mayoral candidate Kasim Reed.

Suspect captured after Middle Georgia officer shot; 2 children among dead in DeKalb plane crash; Georgia leaders grieve death of state school board member; Kasim Reed says he's cleared in feds' probe of City Hall

Tuesday on Political Rewind: Students, faculty and staff on 20 Georgia public college campuses are protesting to demand stronger COVID-19 protections. Demonstrators say the Board of Regents' refusal to require masks on campus is endangering the health of workers and students on Georgia college campuses. Acting Chancellor Teresa MacCartney has defended the state's mask-optional policy, claiming that mandates cause divisions on campuses. Also, a new poll of Georgia GOP voters shows Herschel Walker with a commanding lead in the race to find a Republican opponent for incumbent U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock. The poll gives Walker a lead of almost 70 points against his closest rival, Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black. Can anything stop the former football star from winning the nomination? In other polling news, Atlanta mayoral candidates Felicia Moore and Kasim Reed are in a virtual dead heat in a poll conducted for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. However, a plurality of Atlanta voters say they remain undecided less than three months until the election.

Thursday on Political Rewind: Leaders in Georgia's Republican party traveled to Arizona this week to take a look at the controversial GOP-driven recount of presidential ballots in Maricopa County. The probe, which received vocal support from former President Donald Trump, has drawn Republican leaders from states nationwide. State Sens. Brandon Beach (R-Alpharetta) and Burt Jones (R-Jackson) and state GOP chair David Shafer participated in a walk-through of ballot inspection stations at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix on June 8. Election integrity experts and some Arizona Republicans have derided the effort as 'political theater.' Their visit came as yet another recount of votes in Fulton County awaits a final court ruling on whether it can move forward. Meanwhile, after weeks of speculation that he was considering a run, Kasim Reed has now taken the first steps to join the race for mayor of Atlanta. Reed filed the paperwork necessary to begin raising campaign cash yesterday. Tonight, Reed is set to host a fundraising birthday party where he is likely to make official his bid for a third term. We asked our panel what his entry into the race means for the city and the state. Also, the lawsuit challenging Major League Baseball's decision to move the All-Star Game from Cobb County to Denver is scheduled to be heard in federal court today. The suit demands that MLB return the game to Truist Park and asks for damages of $1 billion. Panelists: Kevin Riley — Editor, Atlanta Journal-Constitution Dr. Andra Gillespie — Professor of Political Science and Director, James Weldon Johnson Institute for the Study of Race and Difference at Emory University Edward Lindsey — Former Republican State Representative Rep. Mary Margaret Oliver — State Representative (D-Decatur)

As a student, Kasim Reed set a goal to be mayor of Atlanta by age 40 - and he made it happen.The Kasim Reed story is truly an original...motivated by a nurturing mother and demanding father, on the Board of Howard University by age 19, the youngest member of the Georgia legislature by 29, managing a successful mayoral race at 32, and winning his own mayoral campaign 8 years later after starting in last place. And 8 successful years as mayor of one of the great international cities.
