Episode 75 - Jaron For 5: Bridging the Divides of Rhetoric and Reality in Rural California

It’s the regular crew talkin’ with Jaron Brandon, a candidate for Tuolumne’s District 5 County Supervisor (jaronfor5.com), about the relative utility of partisan approaches to local issues, how to bridge the divide in political conversation, and how this particular stretch of rural California faces both unique combinations of post-industrial, 21st-century challenges, and reflects many of the issues felt by rural populations across America. The crew comes back after the interview to try to make some sense of the balancing act between normative electoral politics, pushing the envelope, and strategically leveraging power for the people wherever you can find it.
