Georgia Democrats’ strategy, classroom cellphone ban and IVF debate

Georgia Democrats are looking to rebuild after a tough election cycle. On today’s episode of Politically Georgia, hosts Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy sit down with Democratic Caucus Chair Tanya Miller to discuss the party’s strategy this legislative session and how they plan to regain political ground.

Then, we turn to the classroom, where Rep. Scott Hilton is pushing for a ban on cellphone use during class time in Georgia schools. We break down his proposal, the debate it’s sparking, and how it could impact students and educators.

Plus, the renewed push to protect in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment in Georgia is gaining momentum—but legislative hurdles remain. We’ll discuss why the issue is far from settled.

And later, Patricia shares a personal tribute to one of Georgia’s most dedicated public servants.
