Steve sat down with U.S. Senate candidate Karishma Manzur, a medical scientist with a Ph.D. in biochemistry and molecular biology. She spent over 20 years working on treatments for illnesses like epilepsy and depression, and has been active in progressive politics and advocacy on causes as diverse as campaign finance reform, rank choice voting, and New Hampshire Peace Action.

In this episode, we got into an in-depth discussion covering healthcare policy, big money in politics, Democratic Party strategy, and the recent government shutdown negotiations. You can learn more about her campaign at www.KarishmaForSenate.com.
