Episode 193: The Latest on The GA Senate Races & the US Chamber’s Pivot on Paid Leave & Childcare

Early and mail-in voting has started in Georgia and the stakes are high. Both parties are putting all they have into the races that will control the U.S. Senate. We are joined by our friend Joe Binns, a Principal at Chism Strategies in Atlanta and a longtime political operative in Georgia who will give us the lay of the land and share his observations from the ground level. And the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation made some important news this week, releasing a report linking the availability of childcare for working parents to the viability of businesses and the economy. We’ll discuss how not only is the nation’s leading business advocacy organization equating childcare and paid leave to business vitality and sustainability, it could also be politically stranding industries and companies that have been resistant to paid leave, either by government mandate or corporate policy. We will dig into that. We’ll discuss those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
