    Councilwoman Megan Kerr, Worth the Drive

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we take a drive through the 5th district of Long Beach with Megan Kerr — a lifelong resident, community advocate, former school board member, and public servant deeply rooted in the neighborhoods she represents. From growing up in Bixby Highlands and volunteering to feed unhoused residents as a teenager, to raising four generations under one roof and eventually stepping into public office, Megan shares the personal experiences that shaped her approach to leadership, service, and community. This conversation goes far beyond politics. It’s about the unseen work that keeps a city together — the people answering calls, fighting for safer streets, protecting parks, supporting small businesses, advocating for schools, and helping residents feel heard during uncertain times. We talk about: • What city council members actually do behind the scenes • How infrastructure projects really happen • School board politics and public education • Supporting Long Beach small businesses after COVID • Airport noise, aviation concerns, and federal limitations • Protecting green spaces like Willow Springs Park • Why local government matters more than most people realize • The importance of values, community, and public trust Most importantly, this episode explores what makes Long Beach different. Not LA. Not Orange County. But a city built by people who care enough to stay involved and fight for the neighborhoods they love. Support the show
