Today we have no shortage of places to go for political news and commentary. Television, podcasts, social media...you just can't get away. However, we tend to get hyper focused on the "big" races and the big names. Often overlooked are local elections, and the interesting, inspiring, and sometimes quirky stories that come with them. In this podcast, we'll take a closer look at those races and hopefully give some of the spotlight to these lesser known, but equally important races at the bottom of the ballot.
