Georgia’s midterm election is less than four months away. In November, voters across the state will decide on several key federal, statewide and local races. This includes the office of the governor, U.S. Senate, Georgia’s secretary of state, the commissioners of agriculture, insurance, and labor, and all 14 of Georgia’s Congressional Districts.
As the campaign trail intensifies, Democrats and Republicans are vying to get their message out. As a part of “Closer Look’s” “Their Voice, Your Vote” series, host Rose Scott is joined by a panel of guests, both Republicans and Democrats, who provide analysis about the latest on the race to the midterms. They shared their thoughts on several election-related topics, including why some voters feel exhausted, and others energized, whether voters want a business leader at the helm of political office, why Georgia remains an important state for both major political parties, and what those parties must do to win in November.
Guests included:
Fred Hicks, an Atlanta-based campaign strategist and demographer
Saba Long, a political communications strategist
