“In November, Georgians will elect a new governor. Several issues have come to define this election cycle, and the two candidates’ platforms offer significantly different solutions to the problems facing the state. Former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and her opponent Rick Jackson will also have to navigate national referendums on their respective parties. But if there is one central issue of this campaign, it is affordability. Budget strain is a concern for Georgia businesses and households alike. No matter who occupies the governor’s mansion in 2027, one problem a new administration must address is the growing burden of regulations from the administrative state.” (10/12/26)
