Hello from runoff day here in Georgia! Sending a special issue of this newsletter with a few reminders about today:
Over the holiday break, I had the pleasure of working with Crooked Media, Tenderfoot TV and Rembert Browne to launch a limited series podcast called Gaining Ground: The New Georgia. The podcast takes a look at how Georgia flipped in 2020, electing a Democratic president for the first time in nearly three decades, and the senate runoffs that are taking place today. Speaking of today, our fourth episode, which takes listeners on the campaign trail, dropped this morning. Listen here.
Social media is going to be ripe with misinformation today so please think before you retweet. Here are a list of reporters who have been covering this and actually know what they’re talking about:
-Stephen Fowler (GPB)

And, regardless of today’s outcome, please remember:
