Common Good Conversations
A few years ago brothers-in-law Nick Brock and Shawn Skinner started doing the unthinkable at family gatherings – talking about politics and faith at the dinner table. While at times tense and cautious those conversations were filled with curiosity, nuance, grace, and humor. Wanting to lean into that experience they decided to start a podcast. Common Good Conversations is a weekly opportunity for Nick and Shawn to talk about the politics and faith of West Michigan by being curious, nuanced, grace-filled, and humorous; perhaps they’ll learn something along the way.

Meet Common Good Candidate Marcia Mansaray running for State Representative (85th District)
Hey, Everybody!
Nick and Shawn had the privilege of being in conversation with Marcia Mansaray, the Democratic candidate running for State Representative in Michigan’s 85th District. Marcia was the Deputy Health Officer for Ottawa County’s Department of Public Health and emerged as a courageous voice for the community when she pushed back against efforts by Ottawa Impact to undermine and silence the Department of Public Health.
In this episode you'll learn why Marcia no longer identifies with the Republican Party, the burden of making Covid-19 related decisions during the pandemic, why she decided to run for State Representative, and what the Common Good means to her. Oh, and Saturday morning cartoons.
Enjoy!
