    Kyle Sampson on Eight Years at City Hall—and What He’d Change

    I am joined by Mayoral Candidate Kyle Sampson to discuss his move to the Mayoral race, a different way to balance urban sprawl and density, unhoused/social issues downtown, and much more. - Disclosure: Kyle Sampson's campaign hired my company D Rigo Media to help produce his campaign launch video in September. That was contract work, I am not formally (or informally) involved in his campaign, and his campaign (like the other episodes) had no approvals over this episode.
