Shawn Harris spent 40 years in the military and retired as an Army Brigadier General. He and his wife Karla have five children and four grandchildren. They live in Rockmart, Georgia, where together they run their first-generation grass-fed cattle farm. He's running for Congress in Georgia's 14th district, the seat vacated by Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Shawn and I discuss his stellar background, his reasons for running, the issues most important to his district's voters and voters throughout Georgia and the U.S., and how the campaign is effectively reaching across party lines to attract supporters with the goal of flipping this critical House seat.
