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.

Glad this show exists
This is a really good show that gets into politics without being off-putting. Most political podcasts nowadays are either boring, poorly informed, a painfully obvious grift, or all three! This one is an exception.
