I recently spoke with Kevin Cookingham, a former candidate for Congress here in the Central Valley. We talked about a wide range of issues: his family's ag background in the Valley, his work with the Clovis School District, the economy, water shortages, and his current efforts to renew a Christian college here in the Central Valley. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

I recently spoke with Veronica McAllister. Veronica works as a Program Specialist at Valley Regional Occupational Program. We spoke about her efforts to provide occupational training to workers here in the Central Valley.

I recently spoke with a member of the Clovis City Council, Vong Mouanoutoua. Vong and his family immigrated to the United States from Laos in the 1970s. His family helped establish one of the first Hmong Evangelical churches in the state of California. We spoke about the city council's leadership during COIVD and challenges and opportunities looking forward.
