Richard Wright on Healthcare, Taxes, and the Messy Middle | Candidate Conversations Ep. 84

Richard Wright, Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Georgia, joins Trey Bailey in the studio for Episode 84 of The Town Square Podcast as part of our ongoing Candidate Conversations series.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Wright shares his remarkable personal story — from dropping out of high school and moving to Atlanta to pursue music, to becoming a CPA, earning advanced degrees, and now running for statewide office. He explains why he describes himself as a moderate Democrat, why he believes Georgia needs more civility and consensus-building, and how his background in finance shapes his views on taxes, healthcare, housing, and workforce development.

His official campaign site presents him as a non-career politician focused on common-sense solutions for working families and communities.

Topics in this episode include:
• The role of Georgia’s Lieutenant Governor
• Civility and consensus in the State Senate
• Medicaid expansion and rural hospitals
• Housing affordability and private equity
• Tax policy and middle-class growth
• Transportation, jobs, and “One Georgia”
• Why Wright believes most Georgians live in the political middle

Georgia’s Democratic primary is May 19, 2026, and the general election is November 3, 2026.
