Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy sit down with House Speaker Pro Tem Jan Jones as she prepares to step down after more than two decades under the Gold Dome. Jones reflects on her rise through Republican leadership, her focus on education policy, and why she decided now was the time to leave office. She also discusses her approach to power behind the scenes and her role in shaping legislation and mentoring the next generation. Greg and Patricia then examine what her departure means for the balance of power in the Georgia House and the Republicans looking to move up.
