Georgia House of Representatives

Yeah

... that I don't want people to miss, and I, you know, I, we have so many great former episodes, and one that I, if you missed it and you're listening to this, that I would just urge you to go listen to, is a discussion with s- Stacey Abrams, the great protector of voting rights, former leader in the Georgia State House, and, you know, she just made the point so clearly that, you know, everyone requires some form of voter ID.

What this move towards voter ID that was in this, the SAVE Act, again, which didn't pass, what it tried to do was to choose IDs that Democratic voters didn't have deliberately.

That's right.

This is crazy.

a hundred thousand patients from over 60 countries he's developed therapies such as the impact immune immunotherapy uh i'm butchering it but protocol available only there he has written those i've gotten like i said 15 books the art and science of undermining cancer 50 critical cancer answers the hope of living cancer-free feeding cancer the coming cancer cure and the list goes on and on and on uh he's spoken before the world conference on breast cancer he just got back in the country he was he gives seminars all over the world he's a speaker and well known uh you know through the oncology vertical there in the in the medical world uh the georgia house of representatives health policy task force the japanese medical association the medical health advisory board in slovakia and the cancer control society I mean, it's pretty incredible.

There's no reason to leave him backstage.

We might as well get him in here.

because we passed a law.

And maybe the Michigan State House and the Georgia State House and others will look at it and go, we don't need to do anything at the state level today because we now have the Road to Housing Act and it's going to take care of it.

So I guess maybe there's a silver lining in that, Brian.

And by the way, the Road to Housing Act was passed on a bipartisan level.

I'm, I'm good.

Stacey Abrams served in the Georgia House of Representatives for 11 years, with seven as minority leader.

In 2018, she became the Democratic nominee for governor of Georgia, in which she was the first Black woman to become the gubernatorial nominee for a major party in the United States, and won more votes than any other Democrat in the state's history.

Over the course of her career, she has founded multiple organizations devoted to voting rights, including Fair Fight, Fair Count, and American Pride Rises.

How can I, how can I tell my constituents I'm heard?

Rahman in 2022 became the first known Muslim woman elected to the Georgia House of Representatives, and she is also the first Palestinian American elected to any office in the state.

She is now running for state senate.

Jackson did not respond to Rahman during the video, but a spokesperson for Jackson said that he is focused on connecting with voters across the state.

at that internship? Yeah, I learned so much at the internship.

First and foremost, I read almost every bill that was proposed in the Georgia House, you know, in the legislature that year.

My job was to read, summarize, write memos on those bills so that the representative could read through, potentially make quick decisions.

You know, I think a couple things that I learned.

It could help Keisha Lance Bottoms.

It could also help these down-ticket legislative candidates who are trying to flip the Georgia House, so up and down the ticket.

If Ossoff ends up in some sort of runaway victory, you could see fewer Republicans left standing after that.

It's still much speculation and lots can change in the next two months, but that's certainly the strategy we're seeing from Ossoff's campaign.

I just wanted to show you something really quick.

A guy named Spencer Gerard, a retired professor at Columbia University, Columbus State University, Police were called after stolen campaign signs for Georgia House candidate Stephen Acorn traced back to their home via AirTag.

It was busted.

And this guy comes out and he's claiming he doesn't know anything.
