Episode 10: Jason Kander is One of One
Manage episode 445451977 series 3578807
Jason Kander sits down with his old state house roomate Don Calloway to recall his early beginnings in the Kansas City organizing scene, his days as a State Representative, his remarkable and unlikely rise to being the youngest statewide elected official in the country as Missouri's Secretary of State, to his historic run for the United States Senate in 2016, and why he pulled back from electoral politics to focus on his mental health and family. Jason and Don talk what it takes to be a successful legislator, the nature of the glare of politics changing from the local and state level to the federal level, and who he thinks is next up for a star turn in national politics. This episode was recorded before President Biden left the 2024 presidential race, and Vice President Kamala Harris becoming the Democratic nominee for President.
