- Demystifying Texas Politics: How To Empower Communities And Amplify Political Engagement With Claire Campos-O'Neal Of Go Behind The Ballot
In this highly-polarized world, politics is the peak of polarity. When people think Blue versus Red in every conversation, honest and critical analysis of pressing issues often gets left out. Claire Campos-O'Neal seeks to go behind the ballot and really look at the issues in Texas politics independent of Republican or Democratic lenses. Together with her co-host, she puts out regular episodes of the Go Behind the Ballot podcast to reveal patterns that educate her audience on critical issues in local politics. In this conversation with Tracy Hazzard, she explains her method of slowly unraveling issues at a pace that most people are able to keep up with. This way, Claire and her team are democratizing political analysis to help Texans gain heightened awareness of the political climate around them. Tune in and learn how they’re making a nonpartisan political podcast work in this heavily partisan world!
