Georgia House Speaker David Ralston is giving up his role

In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, AJC political insiders Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy talk about Georgia House Speaker David Ralston’s announcement that he will not seek another term as leader of the chamber citing a “health challenge”.

Our insiders look into the speaker’s role as one of the state’s most powerful political leaders, and the force he has become after more than a decade on the job.

Plus, AJC Washington correspondent Tia Mitchell talks about her interview with The Daily Show’s Roy Wood, Jr. and the taping of the Comedy Central hit show here in Georgia ahead of the midterm elections.
