Overview/Welcome

Common Ground with Jason Dempsey is a Michigan-focused political podcast built on one simple idea: most people want the same things, even if politics tries to divide us.

Hosted by Jason Dempsey, a Michigan public servant and independent voice, the show cuts through party talking points to focus on real issues facing Michiganders, from Lansing decisions and local leadership to cost of living, public safety, infrastructure, education, and accountability.

No party loyalty. No cable-news shouting. Just honest conversations, tough questions, and a commitment to finding common ground so Michigan can move forward.

New episodes feature solo breakdowns, community voices, and conversations with leaders across the political spectrum because progress doesn’t happen in echo chambers.

Michigan first. People first. Common ground always.
