For our first episode of the new year, we spoke to the mayor of Gary, Indiana, Karen Freeman-Wilson. Mayor Freeman-Wilson co-chairs the committee on criminal and social justice for the US Conference of Mayors and helped produce that section of the mayors’ agenda entitled Leadership for America: Mayors’ Agenda for the Future. Read more about the Mayors' Safety and Security Plan here.

During our interview, the Mayor helped us locate Gary on a map, we talked about the importance of right-sizing our criminal justice system, and she gave us some behind the scenes scoop from her time as an Undercover Boss.
