Matt Hudson; Carol Steckel, director of the North Carolina Division of Medical Assistance; Tarren Bragdon, President of the Foundation for Government Accountability; former Georgia State Senator Sam Zamarripa; John Kramer, Vice President for Communications at the Institute for Justice, and Dr. Rich Demillo, director of the Center for 21st Century Universities at Georgia Tech.
