We discuss the personal intentions for running for parliament, Madinati's journey from municipal to national elections, and why a larger unified list did not pan out for October 17 groups.

Our conversation includes campaigning on the ground in Beirut 2, the day-to-day concerns of voters and overcoming the geopolitical burden on reform-minded politicians.

Sarah Yassine is MP candidate in Beirut 2 district.
