Congressman Adam Smith (CD 9) joins us this week for a wide-ranging discussion, delving into police reform, the economic recovery, and how we can begin to rebuild post-Trump. In his capacity as Chair of the Armed Services Committee, we also talk about the use of military equipment on civilian populations, as well as this year’s defense budget.

This discussion was recorded live for an online town hall on Saturday, June 20th, 2020.

Today, we present our conversation with 44th LD representative John Lovick. In a recent op-ed for the Everett Herald in response to the murder of George Floyd, Rep. Lovick shares his perspective as someone who has both grown up Black in America, and who has served in law enforcement for many years.

We also talk about the work he’s done at the legislative level to increase police accountability here in Washington.

This is excerpted from a town hall recorded on Tuesday with legislative candidates from the 44th legislative district.
