Ruwa Romman on Georgia’s Governor Race, Gaza, and Overreach of Power

Knowa's back with the latest installment of the 2026 "Meet the Candidates” series, and on this episode, Georgia State Representative Ruwa Romman joins him to break down why she’s running for Governor of Georgia [https://www.ruwaforgeorgia.com]— and what she thinks Democrats need to do differently to win in a “once-in-a-generation” cycle. They get into her affordability agenda, how she navigated the 2024 cycle as a Palestinian elected official, and why she argues leaders should stop investing in war. She also weighs in on ICE overreach and what it will take for Democrats to show up for communities consistently — not just at election time. Ruwa made national headlines last year after the DNC blocked her from speaking when she questioned why anti-choice Republicans were given a platform at the convention instead of a progressive, lifelong Democrat.
