The last two years have me wondering "why on Earth would anyone rational go into politics?" The political landscape seems toxic at the moment and because we need rational, intelligent people to run, I think a lot of us wonder who in their right mind would do it?

Dr. Lelach Rave reached out a couple of. months ago because she decided to leave a successful Pediatric medical practice to run for an open State House Representative spot in my district. She explained that she felt like if we got things right with kids and health in Olympia, everything else owuld follow. I was intrigued.

The next hour is not an endorsement, but rather a conversation between two citizens. Dr. Rave's pivot during Covid fit the theme perfectly and I wanted to get to know the woman behind the campaign. Enjoy.
