As promised, I’m now giving the Democrat’s perspective of this year’s election and how it applies to us. If you haven’t already, I really strongly encourage you to go back one episode and listen to my interview with Britt Larsen, who gives the Republican view from the questions I asked.
Christina Sandhoff is a political advocate and a personal friend of mine. She has a degree in political science and has worked on local campaigns, volunteers on policy committees, and now she’s working in the office of a prospective State House Representative in Colorado.
I’ve asked Christina basically the same questions that I asked Britt last week, in hopes that you’ll get a level view of each side of the discussion. What I found very interesting are the similarities in what Christina and Britt said in response to my questions.
Again, this two-episode series is not meant to sway you one way or another, or even interject my own opinion. This is also certainly not going to turn into a political or news podcast. I just really enjoy talking with people who have different views from one another, in hopes I can get perspective on the whole story and figure out how the big picture applies to me. I definitely learned new things from each of these incredibly intelligent women, and I hope you do too.
I hope that this has inspired you, I hope that both conversations over the last two episodes have taught you something you didn’t know before. Most of all, I hope that you are inspired to take action in your local towns, cities, state, and that you go out and VOTE.
