Time travel can be enlightening. During this trip through our show archives, we go back to the heals of the 2022 midterm elections. Paul Kendrick is the Executive Director of Rust Belt Rising, a grass roots grooming organization for Democrats. Their mission is training candidates and their organizations to connect with working families. During this episode of the Crisis Cast, Lissa & Thom probe Paul on what Republicans did to prevent achieving the red wave and how Democrats intended to rebuild the blue wall. We'll also predict where the next generation of compelling candidates might be hiding. And more, importantly, the inherent crisis in teaching every day candidates how they can use their personal story to connect with voters. This conversation was originally released November 16, 2022.
