In today’s episode of The Depolarizers, Welcome co-founder Lauren Harper Pope is in conversation with Rep. Adam Gray, who represents California’s 13th congressional district.

Now serving as Whip of the Blue Dog Coalition, Gray ran as a Blue Dog in a district that is home to one of the founders of the original Blue Dog Caucus, and he is one of many Blue Dog Democrats to serve CA-13 district in Congress. Remarkably, in 2024, Gray was the only Democrat to flip a district that voted for Trump in that election cycle. Gray is speaking at WelcomeFest June 4 in Washington, DC. RSVP to hear from him live!
