Today’s bonus episode continues our limited series of interviews with host and NewDEAL CEO Debbie Cox Bultan as we look closely at swing states in the presidential race, as well as states with key state legislative races, ballot initiatives, and more. Today, we head to Georgia to talk with State Senator Elena Parent. Senator Parent talks about the enthusiasm growing in for the Harris-Walz ticket and the record turnout in early voting despite the state's strict voting laws. She also focuses on freedom as a top issue on voters' minds this year, pointing to the tragic deaths of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller as painful reminders of what Republicans have done to reproductive rights and healthcare in the state. Senator Parent gives us an authentic look at the issues motivating voters in her swing state.
