Military convos: the former Marine on the USMC in L.A. & Georgia's gubernatorial underdog [1]

Quentin Pullen - aka "Coach Q" - has made a run at politics but currently hails as a fitness coach & movement therapist. I sense serving constituents isn't off the table for him, though, and he's spent a lot of time as an activist and organizer with the Georgia 50501 chapter. He joined me today to provide his perspective - as a former Marine and Californian - on all that's going on in Los Angeles - with Marines and National Guard troops there at the behest of President Trump and to get the gameplan for 'No Kings' protests and Juneteenth commemorations this weekend.
------
Also hailing from Fayette County is state Representative Derrick Jackson, who last week announced he's jumping into the race to be the Georgia Democratic Party's nominee for Governor in 2026. I asked him what made him stand out amongst the current (and potential future) crop of candidates in the party and what his campaign's biggest issues are to focus on.
