    Normal people need to run for office with Will Rollins, Candidate for Congress [CA-41]

    Normal people need to run for office with Will Rollins, Candidate for Congress [CA-41]

    Will Rollins is running for Congress in SoCal with the goal of thoughtfully escorting the current Republican incumbent to the curb (of one of the buildings that said incumbent allegedly owns and has raised rent prices on for residents during a housing crisis). In this episode, we chat with him about this race, his prior run, and the critical nature of name recognition. We also zero in on the need to stop the clown show in Congress and a desperate need for more normal people to run for office. There’s a lot that can change with this seat, and we get into it all.

    TX Congressman Colin Allred on his campaign to boot Ted Cruz from his Senate seat

    TX Congressman Colin Allred on his campaign to boot Ted Cruz from his Senate seat

    Ted Cruz could lose his job this year. Not exactly a devastating loss to say the least. But the focus should be on what would be gained if this happens, specifically if Texas Congressman Colin Allred wins the race [for US Senate]. From our conversation with the Congressman, it would mean more bipartisan solutions, more wins for veterans, more wins for healthcare access, and a Senator that doesn’t flee the state during a weather crisis. There’s a lot on the [yard] line for Texans [and this country] according to the multi-hyphenate Congressman [pro football player-voting rights lawyer-Texas native-Congressman to name a few of the many], this year, and his campaign is bringing that message across the state, and to this episode of the podcast.

    Running for Congress in Idaho as a Dem with Candidate Kaylee Peterson

    Running for Congress in Idaho as a Dem with Candidate Kaylee Peterson

    What’s the political landscape in Idaho? Is it really that conservative? Is there a reason the state seems to embrace right-wingers? And what do people think Dems are trying to take from them? These questions and more on the very red state are answered by Democratic Congressional candidate, Kaylee Peterson. She walks us through the state’s media deserts and how that impacts the landscapes, how isolation contributes to fear, and who/what comes into the stoke the flames. We also chat about her campaign, why she’s running, and the need to build party infrastructure in the state.
