    AG Andrea Campbell on Dem AGs Gearing up to Protect People in Trump’s America

    Democratic Attorneys General across the country are gearing up for what’s expected to be a busy and insane four years under Trump 2.0. Amongst those AGs is Massachusetts AG Andrea Campbell who joined us for a chat on what this prep looks like. She walked us through what AGs do, how they protect constituents, and what is top of mind for her office. We also chatted about the Reproductive Justice Unit she created within the AG’s office – a queen!

    The Purple State, North Carolina with State Rep. Julie von Haefen

    **Editor’s Note: This interview was conducted well before the hurricane hit NC** We’re in the final stretch of this election season, and this is our very last interview before it – we’re doing a solo eppy next week, so don’t fret!! But to cap it off, we had to go with an EPIC one with the amazing Julie von Haefen, who is a state rep in North Carolina. We run through the state’s lay of the land politically and the momentum being built across the state by young people. It’s a state to watch and so is this episode on our YouTube :) North Carolina with State Rep.

    Winning rural voters & flipping districts with Congressional candidate Adam Frisch

    There are many avenues to flipping the House blue and one of the avenues includes a Republican held seat in rural Colorado – the 3rd Congressional District. And while its inflammatory current representative has moved districts, it’s still a battle to flip with Democrat Adam Frisch making a second swing at it. This episode chats on what is needed to make the district vote blue, the issues impacting rural voters, and the epic father-son road trip 2.0 that’s happening with Adam and his son.

  6. Reproductive Rights x the U.S. military and their families, ‘24 & ‘25 elections, & more with Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill [NJ]

    Reproductive Rights x the U.S. military and their families, ‘24 & ‘25 elections, & more with Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill [NJ]

    How does the overturning of Roe impact those serving in our military and their families? We get into that question and answer with Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill who has focused legislatively on trying to protect and enhance access to reproductive care for those serving our country. Core to this conversation is a revelation that not only is the GOP anti-healthcare, but they also are anti-transparency. Outside of repro, we also chat about the 2024 election and what may be ahead for the Congresswoman as she considers a run for NJ governor next year.

    We’re in the final stretch of election season and there’s a US Senate race you need to have on your radar – and it’s in a purple state, Maryland. The race is between County Executive Angela Alsobrooks and the state’s former Governor, Larry Hogan – and you guessed it, it’s a close on.
