Sam LeDoux won his first political race in March when he was elected a city councilor of his hometown of Española at age 32. LeDoux joins "Conversations Different" to discuss his path into politics at an early age and the influence John McCain had on him when he worked for the former U.S. senator. The Republican talks about the extreme polarization in U.S. politics and how he has chosen to follow his values even if it means breaking from the party line. LeDoux also discusses the crises Española faces and the urgency that is required to addresses them.
