Guest:

LA GOP Chair Roxanne Hoge

Guest Bio: 

Roxanne Hoge is the Chair of the Los Angeles Republican Party, as well as an actress, activist, and proud mom. A first-generation immigrant and political firebrand, Roxanne has emerged as a bold voice in California politics — speaking out on corruption, public safety, and how Proposition 50 threatens fairness in redistricting.

Show Summary

From the streets of Skid Row to her own suburban neighborhood, Roxanne paints a picture of LA in crisis… and what it’ll take to fix it. From immigrating with her family from Jamaica, to her own political awakening and path to becoming the Chair of the GOP in the nation’s largest county, Roxanne shares her very personal and compelling story.

No matter your politics, this conversation is a wake-up call for anyone who cares about safe and clean streets in our great cities, and real reform in California.
