<p class="p1">First, a little rant about the gerontocracy. (Sorry if it makes you mad!) Then: A conversation with Kerri-Ann Nesbeth, candidate for Miramar City Council down in South Florida. She explains why she ran, what a day in the life looks like for her right now balancing her full-time job and her full-time campaign, the racism and sexism she's encountered, and why it's all worth it. You can volunteer for Kerri-Ann at <a href= "http://www.mobilize.us/miramar">http://www.mobilize.us/miramar</a> and donate to her campaign at <a href= "https://www.kerriannnesbeth.com/">https://www.kerriannnesbeth.com/</a>. </p> <p class="p1">Produced by <a href="https://dearmedia.com/">Dear Media</a>.</p>

Meet Gabriella Cázares-Kelly, the First Indigenous Woman Elected in Pima County, Arizona

Amanda Litman is the co-founder and executive director of Run for Something (and the author of a book by the same name) -- since launching in 2017, RFS has recruited 60,000 people to run for local office across the country. Every Tuesday, you'll meet some of the RFS candidates (and newly elected public servants!): They're parents, scientists, teachers, refugees, artists, veterans, and more, of all races and ethnicities -- the one thing they all share is their commitment to solving problems in their communities. If you're new to the political process, don't worry, we'll explain how the whole thing works. Subscribe and listen in for a conversation about politics in 2020 that, in spite of everything, will make you hopeful for the future.
