How do candidates for elected office view the divisions within our nation? In this episode, I speak with Kimmie Ellison, a candidate for Texas HD-49. Kimmie is a nurse practitioner and former Peace Corps volunteer based in Austin, Texas. She’s spent almost two decades working in healthcare, focusing primarily on vulnerable populations.  She holds degrees in both government and healthcare, including a Doctor of Nursing Practice Degree. 

Prior to becoming a nurse, she worked for the federal government including the US Department of Housing and Urban Development and in The White House.
