If you care about electing more Democrats, progressives, women, and people of color, listen to this pod. Some of the most important legislative work is happening at the state level, and state legislatures is where our future national leaders (like Barack Obama!) are coming from. This pod features people working to win these vital down-ticket races. Jess and Alison are easy and fun to listen to, and I look forward to hearing more in the next episode.

My favorite President, Jed Bartlet, once said that local politics are important ''cause that's where all the governing that really matters to anybody really happens." As state resistance against Trump has grown, it seems Jed Bartlet was onto something. I've heard a lot of people with questionable qualifications punditing on national politics on podcasts (and enjoy several of them) but Stated is the complete opposite of that. It's qualified people--the ones actually doing the work--talking about where the governing that really matters to anybody really happens. It's a nice change of pace for a political podcast and a nice peak behind the scenes in a place where that really happens.

Great insights & questions! Also, timing wise, it’s hits my sweet spot; just under an hour! Looking forward to more

Grateful for this resource to help me navigate this election season with a little more insight!

Terrific addition to my binge listening of Pod Save America and the NPR Politics Podcasts!
