America's Fractured Politics
This is a podcast for listeners who are passionate about politics, policy and the future of our nation. It is different-it not only describes the problems we face but offers real solutions.
I'm an attorney, a longtime Democratic activist and Capitol Hill staffer. I'm passionate about politics myself, and I hope you'll join me on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
