Everton Blair: A New Generation of Leadership | Candidate Conversations — Episode 81

In Episode 81 of The Town Square Podcast, Trey Bailey continues the Candidate Conversations series with Everton Blair, Democratic candidate for U.S. Congress in Georgia’s 13th District. Blair shares his story as the son of Jamaican immigrants, a former high school math teacher, and a trailblazing member of the Gwinnett County Board of Education, where he became the board’s youngest, first Black, and first openly gay member before later serving as chair during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The conversation explores Blair’s vision for a new generation of leadership in Washington, along with his views on affordability, housing, healthcare, immigration, public education, workforce development, and the growing influence of corporations in public life. Blair also reflects on servant leadership, faith, and why he believes voters in the May primary should see this race as one of the most important opportunities to shape the future of Georgia’s 13th District.
