About this episode

Georgia Supreme Court Justice Sarah Hawkins Warren discusses her reelection campaign and challenges in judicial politics, while Congressman Clay Fuller shares insights from his early days in Congress.

Greg Bluestein hosts alongside Patricia Murphy as Georgia Supreme Court Justice Sarah Hawkins Warren discusses her reelection campaign and warns about partisan pressure on officially nonpartisan judicial races. Warren also talks about her recent breast cancer diagnosis, her work on the court and why she says Georgia’s judiciary should not become another political branch of government. Then Tia Mitchell talks with Congressman Clay Fuller, Georgia’s newest member of Congress, after his special election win to succeed Marjorie Taylor Greene. Fuller discusses his first days in Washington, his focus on rural North Georgia and the viral hotel air-conditioning video he says was meant as satire. Have a question or comment for the show?
