Stuart Gilchrist is the owner of Gilchrist "Whatnot" in Marysville, and he's running for Marysville City Council (FYI he's super passionate about this area and it shows). We talk a bit about his interesting life and career, his running for office, and so much more. Enjoy! 

Shon Harris is the current mayor of Yuba City and is running for re-election for city council. We talked about his time climbing the ranks of the CHP, photography, fostering a child, and more! Give this a listen and get to know your city leaders a little better! 

This is THE episode to help you better understand the role of local government, how it all works, and why it's important to know who is running for every electable position. Thank you Kary for taking the time to help me with this episode!

Gary is the District 4 Supervisor for Yuba County and super good at dumbing down how local government works so even I could understand it. 

Chris Pedigo is a former city councilman of Marysville, a photographer, a history buff, and he writes for the Deviation Diaries. Enjoy!  

Tej Maan is a former Yuba City Councilman and running for Sutter County Board of Supervisors in District 4. We talk a bit about local government and how it works, shaking up the status quo, budgeting, the education system, and more! We also talk about Tej coming to America, the differences in culture (and the education system), and I really feel like this conversation gave me an opportunity to better know Tej. Enjoy!

Michael P. Leahy is the Sutter County District 2 Supervisor and one sweet-ass DJ. 

OMG! I could have talked to Tonya for HOURS (and we did after the recording)! We touch on so many topics. You might need to listen to this in chunks because it's long, but it's great. Some keywords: veteran, foster care, suicide of a spouse and losing yourself, psychology, math is wrong, time!, clarinet, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and a TON more. She's one of the coolest people I've talked to and she's a fan of beards. 

Also, I cuss WAY too much in this one! Sorry friends!

We talk Scrap Monkey, how to saw a hot tub in half, building a business from nothing but hard work, and much more. I had a super great time with Ben, and you will too. Enjoy!

We talk a bunch of acting and the arts, and we dig in to the Vagina Monologues and end up talking sex and culture and more. I loved the conversation and you will to!
