14. Biography of Shelley Wynter
Fri Jun 19, 2026, 12:17 AM

From WSB's website:

Shelley Wynter is a Traditionalist and Conservative who desperately wants America to return to a time when morals, values, education and marriage were honored and cherished. He is not a Republican or a Democrat, and is listed as a “Swing Voter” in VoteBuilder. This is what he is most proud of . His heroes are Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Star Parker, Jack Kemp, and he has always loved and admired Donald Trump, way before he became President. His mother loves him, so she says, but she also does not know where his opinions come from, as she says “they certainly did not come from her”. He is a reformed sinner who goes to church on the big three days but knows all too well the power of prayer. Shelley is also a member of The Georgia Black Republican Council.


So a guy who has been a Trump fan long before that ride down the escalator prefers Ossoff over the Republican challenger? Did he not realize all this time Trump is FAR from someone who honors and cherishes "marriage" and "morals"? (But then again this is the same radio station that had Neal Boortz on for so many years.)

WSB also has a video of Wynter interviewing Keisha Lance Bottoms, Democratic nominee for governor and former mayor of Atlanta and adviser to Pres. Biden, as usual for right wing media, the title uses "Democrat Gubernatorial Candidate". Overall, I'd call Wynter's questioning skeptical but respectful (such as the question at 4:30 referencing Mississippi's improvements in education and 6:30 about extending tax cuts beyond teachers), and he's quite critical of the Republican candidate in contrast to how positively he speaks about Bottoms.

Wynter's interview with Sen. Ossoff is here. I did not know Ossoff had such a great reputation for constituent services all around the state!
