  • All eyes on Georgia Public Service Commission race as power bills climb
    Oct 17 2025

    Two Republicans who sit on Georgia's Public Service Commission -- Tim Echols of District 2 and Fitz Johnson of District 3 — are being challenged by Democratic candidates Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard.

    It's a race that has gone under the radar: until now.

    All five seats are currently held by Republicans. So Democrats are stumping loudly about utility affordability

    Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson stress with host Lisa Rayam how voters need to pay attention: and turn out for race that ultimately affects their households.

  • Trump loyalist Vernon Jones announces run for Georgia Secretary of State
    Oct 14 2025

    Former Democrat-turned-Republican state Rep. Vernon Jones, who crowd-surfed at Georgia Trump rally, announced Monday he's running for the job of Georgia's chief elections officer.

    Jones joins a growing and competitive pool of candidates for Georgia Secretary of State.

    That includes former state elections official, Gabriel Sterling, who took a ton of heat in 2020 from Donald Trump and rebuked Trump's claims the 2020 presidential election results were rigged.

    Host Lisa Rayam, Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson debate if Jones has a chance to compete.

  • Republicans building-up cash to defeat incumbent U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff in 2026. But all are still seeking Trump's blessing.
    Oct 9 2025

    On today's Political Breakfast: Republican candidates are beefing-up their war chests in hopes the money will talk enough to help unseat Democratic U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff next year.

    Ossoff's campaign reports he has 21 million in the bank.

    Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson discuss the numbers that are rolling in from his GOP opponents with host Lisa Rayam.

    Political outsider Derek Dooley announced Monday that he's raised nearly 2 million in his first stretch of the race. He's also got the endorsement of Governor Brian Kemp.

    Another GOP opponent, Congressman Mike Collins, went head-to-head with Dooley and said he's also raised $1.9 million, and that he is transferring another million from his congressional account. The final candidate, Congressman Buddy Carter, has not yet posted.
