Jason Esteves eyes governor’s race, legacies of Atlanta’s Black mayors, Doug Collins’ dual roles and Red White and Blueland

The 2026 race for Georgia governor is already heating up, and state Senator Jason Esteves is the latest to consider a bid for the state’s top office. On today’s episode of Politically Georgia, hosts Patricia Murphy and Greg Bluestein sit down with Esteves live from the state Capitol to discuss his political future and the issues shaping Georgia’s landscape. Then, AJC local government reporter Riley Bunch joins the show to talk about her in-depth profile of five of Atlanta's six living Black mayors, diving into their political journeys, landmark achievements, and the challenges they faced in office. Plus, President Trump has appointed VA Secretary Doug Collins to also serve as acting head of both the Office of Special Counsel and the Office of Government Ethics—two watchdog agencies whose former leaders clashed with Trump before being ousted. We’ll break down what this means for Collins and the future of these agencies. We’ll also tell you about Republican Representative Buddy Carter’s introduction of the Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025. Have a question or comment for the show?
