MILLENNIAL POLITICIANS ON FINDING COMMON GROUND
AT A DIVISIVE TIME IN NATIONAL POLITICS, HOW CAN LOCAL POLITICIANS WORK FOR THE COMMON GOOD? HEAR FROM TWO YOUNG LEADERS.
In US politics, bipartisanship is now the exception, not the rule. But the Millennial Action Project is pushing back: it trains young leaders to bridge the partisan divide and work together to solve America’s problems.
In this episode, we meet two members of the Millennial Action Project from opposite sides of the aisle. They are state representatives from Connecticut, Republican Devin Carney, and Democrat Jillian Gilchrest. Gilchrest and Carney discuss the joys and challenges of being a local politician at a time when national politics is so divisive. ‘Get to know me’ is something they often find themselves saying to constituents who judge them solely on the ‘R’ or ‘D’ after their name.
The two representatives talk about listening and responding to their constituents, having their own prejudices upended, and how they find ways to agree for the good of their state. All on this episode of Let’s Find Common Ground.
