Today we had the privilege to speak with Shannon Watson, founder and Executive Director of Majority in the Middle. This organization was created in 2020 in direct response to the increasing toxicity of 'politics' as we know it. MIM seeks to engage 'those who believe in civil discourse, in bipartisanship and compromise, and in setting a better example for the next generation of elected officials to step forward'.

Shannon has a long history of involvement in politics and currently serves as the Vice Pres. of Public Affairs for the St. Paul Chamber of Commerce.

Listen in and learn with us about this great organization, where it all started, where they are headed and how you can get involved.
