Special Session Recap with Rep. Scott Hilton

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! The Georgia Legislature returned to the Gold Dome for a rare special session, and Rep. Scott Hilton joins the show to break down what happened and why it matters.

We take an inside look at the issues that brought lawmakers back to Atlanta, the debates that shaped the session, and the legislation that emerged from it. We discuss the political dynamics inside the Capitol, where Republicans and Democrats found common ground, where they clashed, and what the outcomes could mean for Georgia residents.

From the biggest policy decisions to the behind-the-scenes negotiations, this conversation offers a clear, firsthand recap of the 2026 special session and what comes next as state leaders turn their attention toward the 2027 legislative session and the upcoming election cycle.

Whether you closely follow Georgia politics or just want to understand how decisions at the Capitol affect your community, this episode provides the context and analysis you need.
