Charlie Bailey has the challenging - some might say, unenviable - task of picking up the pieces of Georgia’s Democratic Party after Republicans made a very strong Peach State showing in last year’s presidential election.
Now the executive director of the state party, Bailey goes On The Record about the ongoing government shutdown, U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff’s reelection campaign and how Democrats hope to capture the governor’s mansion next year.
Also in this week’s show:
The latest on the government shutdown and furloughed federal workers.
Gov. Brian Kemp comments on Georgia’s nationally watched 2026 Senate race, in which Republicans have targeted Ossoff’s seat as a seat that could flip from blue to red.
Early voting ends soon ahead of the state’s Public Service Commission election, in which Democrats are hoping to unseat two GOP incumbents.
The NBA’s sports gambling scandal has rocked both the league, fans and members of several major Mafia-related families. What will its impact be in Georgia?
On The Record is a weekly political show hosted by Atlanta News First anchor Rick Folbaum and political reporter Doug Reardon. It airs every Sunday at 11 a.m. on Atlanta News First.
