Shaping Georgia’s Future: Schools and the Latino Vote

On today’s Washington Wednesday edition of Politically Georgia, hosts Tia Mitchell and Patricia Murphy look at two national organizations aiming to leave their mark on Georgia politics ahead of the 2026 midterms. First, former Georgia state lawmaker Alisha Thomas Searcy joins the show to talk about leading the new Center for Strong Public Schools Action Fund and its mission to shape education policy across the South. Later, Katherine Pichardo, CEO of the Latino Victory Fund, discusses her group’s endorsement of Jason Esteves in the governor’s race and how Latino voters could influence the state’s political future.
