New episode of the Bettis Musgrove Show is live.
Most people hear Secretary of State and either think elections or have no idea what the office actually does. Today's guest knows that office better than almost anyone in the state.
We sat down with Tim Fleming, Georgia State House Representative, small business owner, and candidate for Georgia Secretary of State. Tim is not starting from scratch. He spent years inside that office under Brian Kemp, worked his way up to
Deputy Secretary of State, managed the 2018 governor's race, and served as Governor Kemp's first Chief of Staff. Now he wants to run the agency he helped build.
We talk about what the Secretary of State actually does every day, why the professional licensing backlog is forcing real Georgians into impossible situations, where Georgia is headed on elections and paper ballots, and how a trip to a College Republican meeting at UGA in 2002 changed the entire direction of his life.
We also get into Vampire Diaries tourism in Covington, Dukes of Hazard on the square, Troy Aikman starter jackets, and a lot in between.
Note: This is not a political endorsement. We just like talking to interesting people doing interesting things.
