UGA expert offers preview of Georgia’s legislative session

The Georgia General Assembly will convene on Monday for this year’s legislative session. Last year, debate raged below the Gold Dome over issues like sports betting and access to medical care for transgender youth.

WUGA’s Emma Auer sat down with Dr. Audrey Haynes, Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of the Applied Politics Program at the University of Georgia, to preview the bills and issues that are likely to come up in this year’s session.

Emma Auer is an award-winning reporter who joined WUGA as a full-time producer in 2024. She is also a graduate student in UGA's Romance Languages Department, studying French and Spanish. She covers the breadth of Northeast Georgia stories, from Athens City Hall to Winterville farmers' markets. Emma's work has also been heard on Georgia Public Broadcasting.
