Looking ahead to the 2024 legislative session

Political news did not take a break while you were ringing in the new year. On today’s episode of the AJC’s Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Greg Bluestein, Patricia Murphy and Bill Nigut cover the big political stories that broke over the holidays, including federal Judge Steve Jones’s approval of the newly drawn legislative and congressional maps in Georgia.

 

Also making headlines was a spate of so-called “swatting” incidents involving elected Georgia officials.

 

Our hosts also look ahead to next week’s start of the 2024 legislative session with Democratic Rep. Saira Draper and veteran Republican operative Stephen Lawson.
