A Conversation With Democratic Party Chair Charlie Bailey

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! Democratic Party Chair Charlie Bailey joins the show for a candid conversation about this year's elections and current events.

We begin the show by reflecting on the tragic assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, an event that has sent shockwaves through political circles across the country.

We then shift focus to Georgia, where Democrats are facing several critical tests in the near future. Bailey outlines the party's strategy in the upcoming Senate District 21 runoff - a race that could serve as a bellwether for suburban and swing voters. He also talks through the stakes of the Public Service Commission contests, which will determine how Georgia approaches energy costs, infrastructure investment, and regulatory oversight for years to come.

Bailey shares what he sees as the opportunities - and challenges - for Democrats as they try to build momentum heading into 2026. Whether you're following these races closely or just trying to understand where Georgia politics is headed, this conversation offers valuable insights straight from the top of the state party.
