How does being the youngest parent in Congress impact how one thinks about policy and its impacts? It’s a question we asked Congressman Auchincloss [D-MA] who has made one of his central policy focuses online safety. And to that, we chat about legislative change and cultural change that’s needed to improve the mental health of kids and adults alike, keep kids safe online, and encourage more touching grass time. Social media and big tech and how to rein them in are central to this episode&#39;s discussion as well.  Rep.

Will Rollins is running for Congress in SoCal with the goal of thoughtfully escorting the current Republican incumbent to the curb (of one of the buildings that said incumbent allegedly owns and has raised rent prices on for residents during a housing crisis). In this episode, we chat with him about this race, his prior run, and the critical nature of name recognition. We also zero in on the need to stop the clown show in Congress and a desperate need for more normal people to run for office. There’s a lot that can change with this seat, and we get into it all.

All eyes are on the swing state of Nevada this episode because we brought on Nevada State Senate Majority Leader, Nicole Cannizzaro to chat all about the state’s politics, its purple reputation, and an issue that’s top of mind for voters – abortion.

Ted Cruz could lose his job this year. Not exactly a devastating loss to say the least. But the focus should be on what would be gained if this happens, specifically if Texas Congressman Colin Allred wins the race [for US Senate]. From our conversation with the Congressman, it would mean more bipartisan solutions, more wins for veterans, more wins for healthcare access, and a Senator that doesn’t flee the state during a weather crisis. There’s a lot on the [yard] line for Texans [and this country] according to the multi-hyphenate Congressman [pro football player-voting rights lawyer-Texas native-Congressman to name a few of the many], this year, and his campaign is bringing that message across the state, and to this episode of the podcast.  Colin Allred: <a href="https://colinallred.com/" rel="nofollow">https://colinallred.com/</a>Colin Allred on TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@colinallredtx" rel="nofollow">https://www.tiktok.com/@colinallredtx</a>Colin Allred on Insta: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/colinallred/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/colinallred/</a> NEW MERCH → <a href="https://www.bonfire.com/the-gov-club-collection/" rel="nofollow">https://www.bonfire.com/the-gov-club-collection/</a> The Yapper’s Digest: <a href="https://theyappersdigest.beehiiv.com/" rel="nofollow">https://theyappersdigest.beehiiv.com/</a>#VIRAL by Girl and the Gov®: <a href="https://www.girlandthegov.com/newsletter" rel="nofollow">https://www.girlandthegov.com/newsletter</a>The Gov Hub Newsletter: <a href="https://govhub.beehiiv.com/" rel="nofollow">https://govhub.beehiiv.com/</a>The Gov Club: <a href="https://bit.ly/41bVbHj" rel="nofollow">https://bit.ly/41bVbHj</a>Shop our Faves and Working in Politics Picks: <a href="https://shopmy.us/sammyandmaddie" rel="nofollow">https://shopmy.us/sammyandmaddie</a>Consulting: <a href="https://www.girlandthegov.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.girlandthegov.com/</a> Follow us on social media:Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/girlandthegov/" rel="nofollow">@girlandthegov</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/girlandthegovthepodcast/" rel="nofollow">@girlandthegovthepodcast</a>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@girlandthegov?lang=en" rel="nofollow">@girlandthegov</a>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXZu8SynwiQzElPxfJ_SCcw" rel="nofollow">@girlandthegov</a>Threads: <a href="https://www.threads.net/@girlandthegovthepodcast" rel="nofollow">@girlandthegovthepodcast</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

What’s the political landscape in Idaho? Is it really that conservative? Is there a reason the state seems to embrace right-wingers? And what do people think Dems are trying to take from them? These questions and more on the very red state are answered by Democratic Congressional candidate, Kaylee Peterson. She walks us through the state’s media deserts and how that impacts the landscapes, how isolation contributes to fear, and who/what comes into the stoke the flames. We also chat about her campaign, why she’s running, and the need to build party infrastructure in the state.

What in the world is happening with this potential TikTok ban? And honestly, what even is it? Is it a ban? We asked Gen-Z Congressman Maxwell Frost, who gave us the 411 on the what, the why, the who, and the when.

Specifically, we zeroed in on the youth vote and how those numbers are shaping up for the federal, and in another lens, what that looks like in Florida. A conversation of possibilities, our chat covers what the Congressman thinks is possible in Florida this cycle and what needs to happen in the years to come.

There’s little cutie speech that the president gives called the State of the Union Address or as the wonks like to shorten it to, SOTU. Sounds kind of like a fun drink in our opinion, but it’s literally a look at from the president’s eyes the state or status of the nation at the juncture that they give said speech. This one is sure to be a banger, and to prepare and react we brought on USAFacts President Poppy MacDonald to bring us through the numbers. The cold hard numbers and facts on the status of ~tings~ from the economy to immigration. Our convo will give you a look into it all and so will the full report, which is included in the episode description.

The fentanyl crisis has impacted individuals and families in every corner of this country. But how did this crisis start? And where are its impacts the deepest? Many of those answers start in West Virginia. As told by our guest JoAnna Vance, a Program Coordinator at WV Economic Justice, the crisis has taken a huge toll and a huge amount of lives. It’s a crisis that she’s actively a part of turning around through her advocacy. It’s also a crisis rife with stigmas around solutions and treatment – another element to this huge conversation.And to that point, in this conversation, we look at some of the solutions proposed, from Narcan distribution to safe injection sites, and beyond to see how we can work together to end this epidemic that’s already robbed too many people of their lives.

The topic on the tip of everyone’s tongues right now is immigration. From the border bill to the Trump theatrics to the meltdowns on team GOP, the issue is getting thrown around like a Superbowl football. But what is this messaging really doing? And how will it impact this year’s elections? In a classic look at words matter, this episode brings Beatriz Lopez, the Deputy Director of the Immigration Hub in to talk about the difference in messaging in the different camps on this vital policy vertical.  Beatriz Lopez, Deputy Director of the Immigration Hub: http://tinyurl.com/694keyxm SHOP:Prose Haircare: Get 50% off your first subscription &amp; 15% off and free shipping on every subscription after that by visiting prose.com/girlandgovFactor Meals: Get 50% off with code girlandthegov50 when you visit factormeals.com/girlandthegov50 Hot Mic’d from Girl and the Gov®: <a href="https://hotmicdfromgirlandthegovthepodcast.beehiiv.com/" rel="nofollow">https://hotmicdfromgirlandthegovthepodcast.beehiiv.com/</a>#VIRAL by Girl and the Gov®: <a href="https://www.girlandthegov.com/newsletter" rel="nofollow">https://www.girlandthegov.com/newsletter</a>The Gov Hub Newsletter: <a href="https://govhub.beehiiv.com/" rel="nofollow">https://govhub.beehiiv.com/</a>The Gov Club: <a href="https://bit.ly/41bVbHj" rel="nofollow">https://bit.ly/41bVbHj</a>Shop our Faves and Working in Politics Picks: <a href="https://shopmy.us/sammyandmaddie" rel="nofollow">https://shopmy.us/sammyandmaddie</a>Get styled by SK:<ul><li>Here: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/wy36fsc8" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/wy36fsc8</a></li><li>And here: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/3wkc9tsj" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/3wkc9tsj</a></li></ul> Follow us on social media:Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/girlandthegov/" rel="nofollow">@girlandthegov</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/girlandthegovthepodcast/" rel="nofollow">@girlandthegovthepodcast</a>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@girlandthegov?lang=en" rel="nofollow">@girlandthegov</a>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXZu8SynwiQzElPxfJ_SCcw" rel="nofollow">@girlandthegov</a>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/girl-and-the-gov-llc/" rel="nofollow">@girlandthegov</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/girl-and-the-gov-the-podcast/" rel="nofollow">@girlandthegovthepodcast</a>Threads: <a href="https://www.threads.net/@girlandthegovthepodcast" rel="nofollow">@girlandthegovthepodcast</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

It’s 2024 and the GOP is coming for birth control. But the thing is this isn’t just a ‘whoops yolo’ by the ultra-conservative crew, it’s the definition of the political long game. It’s this very long game that we dissect with none other than longtime repro rights advocate, Mini Timmaraju, the President &amp; CEO of Reproductive Freedom For All. We look at how this plan came to be, what’s different about the repro rights landscape now from when Mini first dove in, and how we can fight back now. We also look at how much is encompassed in the repro rights basket – and how important it is to go beyond just talking about abortion, but to talk about miscarriages, the criminalization of doctors, birth control and contraceptives, and more.

Did we take out our calculators for this episode? No, but we considered it because this interview focuses all on campaign finance and how to cultivate a career in this very needed piece of the successful campaign puzzle. We talk challenges, we talk strategy, and we talk about how we need more young people to explore this vital path with Sydney Levin-Epstein, Director of Development at Arena who is an ace at campaign finance, having come to Arena having worked  Senator Markey’s Deputy Finance Director on his 2020 campaign and throughout the fundraising space. Sydney helped us (and now you) get an understanding of the campaign finance career track, what it’s like to transition from an external career into it, and the training available via Arena.

What do legislators talk about behind closed doors? What happens when they get together? What ideas do they share? How do they collaborate? For leaders and legislators a part of The NewDEAL, they convene, they collaborate, and they bring ideas to the table that help their communities.

Bipartisanship is back and we’re so freakin’ glad about it. Working across the aisle is not an easy feat and yet it’s something that members of Future Caucus do regularly. The org brings together young legislators from across the aisle and provides a space for them to talk out issues, ideas, and work together to get shit done. In today’s polarized enviro, it’s uber impressive and something we needed to get the scoop on. Cue, our guests, VT Rep. Mary-Katherine Stone, a Democrat and VT Rep. Casey Toof, A Republican. These two guests walk us through how they work together and what strategies they implement to do so. They also provide us with perspective on how important bipartisanship is and also having conversations with people you may not agree with. There’s much common ground to be found, and these two guests tell the tale of how to find it.  VT Rep. Mary-Katherine Stone: https://legislature.vermont.gov/people/single/2024/37395VT Rep.

Bipartisanship with VT Future Caucus Co-Chairs, Rep. Mary-Katherine Stone & Rep. Casey Toof

If you asked us if we were surprised that Senator Manchin decided to retire, we’d say 50/50. If you asked candidate for Senate, Zach Shrewsbury, he’d say nope, not at all. Zach has had a pulse on how Manchin plays politics for quite some time, interacting with him as an organizer. He’s also had a pulse on West Virginia politics and the needs of WV residents as a result. And those needs, those issues need to be communicated and represented in the Senate. Zach is running to be that representation and to remind all to not count rural voters out [or people for that matter]. This episode discusses his run for office, the campaign’s focus, and what’s been missing in WV politics. PS Tyler Childers, if you’re reading this, this is the campaign to get involved in ;) You didn’t hear it from us…or did you?
