Rep. Tim Fleming Talks Local Elections, National Politics, and Georgia’s Future - Episode 21

In this exciting episode of The Town Square Podcast, hosts Gabriel Stovall and Trey Bailey sit down with Georgia House of Representatives member Tim Fleming. Representing District 114, which covers over half of Newton County, all of Morgan County, and the southern part of Walton County, Fleming represents more than 50,000 citizens. 

Trey and Gabriel dive into the local election results, offering their take on the outcomes that weren’t too surprising—LeAnne Long winning District 5 Commissioner and Stan Edwards taking the District 1 Commissioner seat. However, there was a surprising twist with long-time Coroner Tommy Davis losing his seat to Democrat newcomer Kimberly Griggs, and the hosts take some time to discuss the implications of this shift.

Shifting to the broader political landscape, Representative Fleming, a staunch Republican, shares his thoughts on the recent Presidential election. Fleming believes the results signify a landslide win for Donald Trump, with a Republican majority in the Senate, and possibly in the House of Representatives as well. He refers to this as an American “mandate” for the party to make significant strides in improving the economy and culture of the United States.

Fleming also gives an insightful look at what it’s like to serve as a Georgia State Representative during the Gold Dome legislative session in Atlanta. The session lasts for 40 days, and Fleming explains how his time is spent balancing his responsibilities at the Capitol with his ongoing work in the tri-county area, meeting with civic groups, donors, and citizens to stay connected to the needs of his constituents.

One of the key takeaways from the interview is Fleming’s strong belief in bipartisan cooperation. He shares how he works with his Democratic colleagues to pass legislation that benefits all Georgians, highlighting the importance of finding common ground in government.

The discussion also touches on key local issues such as population growth, transportation challenges, and the ongoing need for affordable housing in the district. Fleming offers his perspective on how the state can address these challenges to ensure a prosperous future for the region.
