Former Georgia State Senator Don Balfour, known for his conservative leadership and common sense approach, joined one of the nation's most influential and progressive radio shows to shed light on the reality of our democracy and the need for conflict mitigation in politics. During a time when political divisions seem insurmountable, this unexpected conversation became a catalyst for hope according to listener response.
The conversation between Senator Don Balfour and Dr. Rashad Richey demonstrated the value of bridging political divides to address pressing societal concerns. Dr. Richey emphasized the power of honest dialogue with one another despite having differing political positions. Balfour said, "I think it is important because people need to understand and believe that we are having free and fair elections." Both gentlemen work as co-leads with The Carter Center's Democracy Resilience Program and bring together people of all political backgrounds to promote safe and secure democratic norms through the Democracy Resilience Network (DRN), which anyone can join by going to https://www.georgiadrn.org/ .
