Episode #352: The Fight for the Benton County Quorum Court with Angelina White and Meleah Gretzmier

What does a Justice of the Peace actually do, and why should you care who's representing your district? On this episode of The District 3 Podcast, Irvin sits down with Meleah Gretzmier, candidate for Benton County Justice of the Peace in District 13, and Angelina White, candidate for Justice of the Peace in District 2. We dive into their campaigns, what inspired them to run for office, and the important role the Benton County Quorum Court plays in shaping local policies that affect our everyday lives. We also tackle some tough conversations about Benton County policies targeting immigrant communities, the impact of local government decisions, representation, accountability, and why getting involved in local elections matters now more than ever. From breaking down what Justices of the Peace actually do to discussing the future of Benton County, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. Local politics matter. Local leadership matters. And your voice matters. Tune in to The District 3 Podcast for a conversation about community, representation, and the power of showing up.
