We’re all painfully aware of what’s happening in politics at the federal level at all times. You see what's happening in your immediate community and are up on the latest gossip in the neighborhood.  But how in tune are you with the inner workings of the state government?  Whether you’re in a red state, a blue state, or a purple one, much of what takes place in the statehouse probably isn’t on your radar.  You see the main bills that get passed if they affect you or your circle.  You know some of the main issues that are debated.  But do you know what’s happening behind the scenes?  Who’s pulling the strings or steering the ship?  Is your vote carrying its proper weight? And are your interests being represented?  

We're joined by Ohio State Senator, Casey Weinstein and Ohio State Representative & Democratic Minority Leader, Dani Issacsohn.  They give us a much-needed civics lesson as well as a large serving of hope for the future.  Ohio is a superminority for Democrats, but with the 2026 elections nearing, at the time of this episode, there are changes that are taking place that have high potential to serve all the residents...not just of Ohio, but in many of the states that have been craving servant leadership.  Americans across the board are hungry for dedicated, passionate, loyal representatives.
