In this episode, Hosts Dr. Rita and Diane Little interview interview Joel Ford, former North Carolina State Senator. We talk about his disappointment with the Democrat party and his concerns with progressive approaches to change. With economic freedom as his primary goal, he unpacks his approach to questions about school choice, vouchers, education, and voting rights. He also explains his major concern: too many elected officials are more concerned with fighting than working; and our liberal/progression expectations set the bar too low.
Joel joined the Sentinel team in 2022 as a Client Executive and is responsible for the
oversight, management, and implementation of all strategies as they relate to the
management and servicing of an account.
Originally from Belmont, NC, Joel is a former North Carolina State Senator who represented Mecklenburg County for six years.
