This week Shay and Elise take not one, not two, but FIVE local Rhode Islanders on a date. And these aren’t just any Rhode Islanders, these are people who have been called by some higher power (idk, Buddy Cianci?) to run in the Special Election for Rhode Island Senate District 3.   

Join our dynamic duo as they ask Alex Cannon, Hilary Levey Friedman, Bret Jacob, Ray Rickman, and Sam Zurier questions like:  

1. If you were running for high school president, not Senate District 3, what would your platform be? (03:30)
2. What is your favorite street NAME in District 3? (11:26)
3. What is a rational fear of yours? (15:55) 
4. What is your most treasured memory? (23:50) 
5. If your campaign had a theme song, what would it be? (26:50)

And as a bonus, we ask each candidate a VERY important question: why are you as a person - not a politician, candidate, or professional - best for this job?
