The Most Important Question

Run for Soil and Water and Farmworkers


Listen Later

You may feel like you're giving it all you have, but obviously things are tough out there. We're working on all of it, but in particular, you, our listeners have asked for over and over more examples of a fight and actual progress that you can see and touch and feel.

And in these, the new second batch of conversations, in partnership with our best friends at Run for Something, we're gonna give you more of exactly what you're asking for.

Going forward, not every conversation will be the same. So some, like today, might feature a single guest, a candidate or an alum or an incumbent, I guess, and others might feature two guests. But all of them are sourced from the Run for Something pipeline, so they could be candidates or they could be among the graduating classes. But these are no doubt the next generation leaders of this country

For example, today I'm gonna introduce you to an incredible candidate who's running for a local office in their home state that is specifically working on something they were born into and care about deeply, that they represent.

We're gonna talk about what they're working on and why, where they've made progress, where they've struggled, and tactics and strategies that might be transferable to other school districts or towns or cities or whatever.
