In this election podcast miniseries, I kick things off by interviewing former Councilman Wayne Hurley. We dive into Wayne’s time on the council, the challenges they faced, and how things have evolved since the original riverfront plan. We lay out the city’s options for candidates for County Commissioner, Mayor, School Board, and all four wards of the City Council. We also take time to break down my own platform and explain why I decided to run to represent Ward 1. This miniseries is all about providing informative and educational content to help voters get to know their choices. I hope listeners enjoy it, and I encourage other candidates to participate!
