New Year shakeup in Atlanta City Council, GOP Chair testifies on Trump electors, legislators prep for 2023 session.

Political Breakfast is back! The first edition of the year is live with host Lisa Rayam, Republican strategist Brian Robinson and Atlanta Civic Circle Executive Director Saba Long, who’s filling-in for Democratic strategist Brian Robinson. 

In the lineup is a paid advertisement Atlanta city councilwomen published in the Atlanta Journal Constitution over the weekend, that calls out council president Doug Shipman for not appointing Black women to key leadership positions.  

Plus, Robinson and Long discuss the transcript of Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer’s testimony to the January 6 House panel. It centers on what was happening in Georgia after President Biden’s win in 2020, and on meetings to organize fake electors.

And Georgia state legislators are preparing to convene next week. What political news is grinding the gears of the 2023 session?
