Season 2, Episode 6: Legislative Insider
With Paul Oh
Welcome to this episode of Voice of Business, presented by Vox Pop Uli. Host Nick Masino, President & CEO of the Gwinnett Chamber, sits down with Paul Oh, Vice President of Public Policy & External Affairs for the Gwinnett Chamber, for a timely conversation coming off the Georgia Chamber’s Eggs & Issues Breakfast. Together, they unpack the theme shaping this year’s legislative session and election cycle — affordability — and what it could mean for families, employers, and local governments. Paul breaks down how state leaders are approaching income and property tax relief, why “affordability” extends far beyond housing, and how Gwinnett’s delegation holds outsized influence under the Gold Dome.
The conversation closes with a clear look ahead: the key races to watch, what polling can (and can’t) tell us this early, and how the Chamber is creating opportunities for members to hear directly from top candidates in official settings.
