    S2|E10 The Spirit of Public Service with State Representative Thomas Moakley

    I was very grateful for the opportunity to sit down and chat with Massachusetts State Representative Thomas Moakley. I've gotten to know Representative Moakley through my friends Jack Richardson and James Lea and their work on his 2024 campaign. We discussed the relationship between local, state, and federal government, how our elected leaders should embody the spirit of a true public servant, and what the Democratic Party stands for.

    I sat down with my good friend Jack Pavia for the first ever video edition of the Eby Politics Podcast!

    S2|E6 Governing Under Trump with Councilman John Hursh

    I sat down with Lancaster City Councilor John Hursh to discuss the ins and outs of local government. Lancaster City is the most Democratic part of the conservative Lancaster County, but in recent years its suburbs have begun swinging blue. We discussed the success of Democrats across the county in 2025, what it's like governing under Trump 2.0, and how good policy starts at the local level.

Brad is a good friend of mine who I got to know during our campaigns for borough council in Lancaster County in 2023. We discussed his bold vision for Pennsylvania, how Democrats can actually deliver for working people, and what's at stake in the 2026 elections.

    Raif Ahmed, a good friend of mine and fellow American University alum, sat down with me for a lengthy discussion about the 2025 election results in Georgia where he's been working hard for progressive candidates, the economic injustices young people are facing, and what Democrats can learn from Zohran Mamdani's successful campaign for NYC Mayor.

    S2|E3 Progressive Change at the Local Level with Jack Richardson

    I was lucky enough to sit down with Jack Richardson, a good friend of mine from American University and current Selectboard member for the town of Falmouth, Massachusetts where he is the youngest member ever elected in the town's 300 year history. We discussed the political dynamics of a deep-blue state, reflected on the errors of 2024 and the path forward in 2026, and how progressive change at the local level like Jack is fighting for is the blueprint for Democratic victory.
