Shelane Etchison, a U.S. Army veteran and candidate for Congress in North Carolina's 9th District. Shelane’s distinguished military career, which includes service as a Military Police officer and pioneering roles in special operations alongside Army Rangers and Navy SEALs, speaks to her dedication to principled leadership. After deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, she hung up her 11 year military career and headed to Harvard. There she earned both an MBA from Harvard Business School and an MPP from Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Now, she’s running as an unaffiliated candidate, committed to breaking the gridlock of partisan politics.

During our conversation, Shelane reflects on her journey from military service to politics, the importance of civic engagement, and the challenges faced by women in leadership. As she prepares to welcome her first child, Shelane also shares her thoughts on raising the next generation with integrity, empathy, and a strong sense of community in an increasingly digital age. We discuss critical issues such as the impact of technology on youth, balancing personal and professional life, and the role of community values in parenting and policymaking.

Our conversation underscores the importance of local candidates and why it's essential to research beyond party lines. Shelane's story is a testament to courage and commitment, reminding us that civic duty starts with informed choices. Whether you're a military family, a parent, a mom who continues to follow her passion, or someone concerned about the future of our democracy, this conversation offers valuable insights on leadership, responsibility, and the power of voting.

Tune in, do your research, and remember—your vote matters more than you think.
