This week, as we come into the midterm elections, we’ll discuss politics. Our focus will be local, and we’ll especially consider how to run for office at the local level. Our welcome guests will be Joseph Soto, a mayoral candidate in Inglewood, California and his strategist Ilya Klinger. No surprise: we’ll be learning lessons for American Solidarity Party candidates.
