It's been about 10 months since Gov. Brian Kemp took office — with a pledge to lift up rural Georgia.

GPB political reporter Stephen Fowler speaks with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp.

Kemp made one of those stops in southeast Georgia earlier this week for a ribbon-cutting at a chicken processing facility. GPB reporter Stephen Fowler sat down with Georgia's governor to learn more about his plans for the state.
