The Politically Speaking podcast crew this week welcomes a woman who’s literally one of a kind: state Rep-elect Deb Lavender, D-Kirkwood.

A physical therapist, Lavender appears to have set a modern-day record in the state by running four consecutive times for the same legislative post before winning. She lost bids in 2008, 2010 and 2012 to then-incumbent Rick Stream, R-Kirkwood. Originally published on Nov. 19, 2014.
