My guest is Lisa Parker AKA Mamaw's Porch Politics. She's a liberal woman who lives in rural Ohio and was raised in Appalachia, and her political commentary has caught the attention of thousands of voters. Her social pages are growing quickly because her message resonates so deeply.

Topics: The importance of voter turnout (even in heavily gerrymandered districts) in upcoming elections, emphasizing the need for reform in voting systems and the Electoral College. Lisa highlighted the critical issues voters are concerned about, including securing Social Security and healthcare, and bodily autonomy. We talked about how MAGA signs are no longer as prevalent in her very red area and how cutting food stamps for millions will wake more of the base up. We had a wonderful chat and covered much more. Take a listen and follow her!
