South Dakota is as "red" as states come in terms of politics. So when Democrats like Erin Healy run for the legislature, they know that they have many tough hills to climb, not just in elections, but also while in office. In this You Should Run Podcast, South Dakota State Representative Erin Healy talks about running for office, the challenges of building coalitions as a Democrat, and getting more young people involved in politics. She also discusses the recent anti-transgender legislation in her state and how Democrats, moderate Republicans, and business groups helped to defeat the bill.

Listen, share, and hopefully YOU will consider running for office too.
