Erin Jones has been involved with schools for the past twenty-six years. She received recognition at the White House in March of 2013 as a champion of change. She left her job to run as a candidate for state superintendent and was the first Black woman to run for any state office in Washington state. Today, Erin and I talk about the importance of voting, why it's important to vote down-ballot, the potential for unrest following the election, and why Erin isn't planning to jog the day after the election.
