On this week’s episode, we’re thinking about the return to school and Congress with Michigan Rep. Hilary Scholten.

These are also major issues this election season. How can we ensure that our children and families aren’t just safe—but can thrive?

Helping us to sort out these questions and set the record straight is our very special guest,
