In this special episode of American Angst, political scientist Michael Bailey and host Dale McConkey welcome retired Brigadier General Shawn Harris, a Democratic candidate for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District. The conversation ranges across key issues including veterans’ care, agriculture, healthcare, border security, and foreign policy, as Harris reflects on his 40 years of military service and his current life as a cattle farmer. He shares lessons from his 2024 campaign, explains why pragmatic, results-driven leadership matters more than partisan labels, and emphasizes long-term thinking, common-sense solutions, and a hopeful vision for Northwest Georgia.
