Thu. 8 am. Wayne continues his October election coverage with a candid conversation with Craig Gordon, who represents Georgia’s House of Representatives District 163. District 163 covers much of Savannah, including much of the Landmark Historic District, much of the southside, and a considerable bit of the east and west sides of the city. Rep. Gordon is unopposed in the Nov. 6 election, a fact that will likely allow him to be more candid in his assessment of the upcoming election than would otherwise be the case. 10/11/2018
