Candidates Care Proposals! Paid Leave! Pop Culture & Politics! Voters RISING!

OCT 28, 202457 MIN

Description

On the radio show this week we put a spotlight on Vice President Harris’ announcement of a new policy in her platform: Medicare at Home, and how expanding Medicare to cover in-home care could have a big impact in rapidly aging swing states like Wisconsin.  As we dive into public policies that are in the headlines we take a look at: Why MORE headlines are needed about them, which candidate supports them, which candidate opposes them, and how you can use that information as you cast your ballot. Next up, we cover paid family & medical leave, why it matters to our economy, to businesses, and also to parents and people too.  After that, we discuss the intersection of pop culture and politics, particularly in this moment when we have a groundbreaking woman leader potentially about to be our first woman president! We close the show talking about how voters are rising! Find out who, what, where, when, how, and why and how you can be sure to make your ballot count.
