🎙️ Three candidates. Two generations. And a whole lot to talk about.

Today’s Candid Candidate Conversations gave us a little bit of everything!

A huge thank you to Scott Colom, candidate for U.S. Senate in Mississippi, for stopping by and talking with us about making history, taking on corruption, and why he believes Mississippi is ready for something different.

Then we kept it in the family with Justin Early, candidate for Congress in Texas’ 31st District, and his son Matthias Early, candidate for Texas House District 20. We talked technology, education, affordability, the issues facing their districts—and, of course, had a little fun getting to know the father and son behind two very different campaigns. 👨🏾‍👦🏾🗳️

Thank you to our guests for joining us and to everyone who tuned in!

👀 And we’re just getting started.
Stay tuned because next week we’re dropping our September slate of candidates joining Candid Candidate Conversations.

More races. More questions. More opportunities to know who’s asking for your vote.
