Happy Primary Election Day!
I grew up in a political family, so the days when the polls are open are not only filled with anticipation of the final counting, but also lots of family memories. The guest on my podcast this week, Luke Macias, also grew up in a political family and I figured Election Day would be a good time to talk about the political lessons we learned growing up — what is still true and what has changed.
Luke is one of the most high-profile conservative political strategists on the right. His political career began when his father ran for public office while he was in high school and he has some great stories.
While we didn’t discuss anything about tonight’s election outcomes, we also looked at some current political and public policy trends, why more Latinos are running as Republicans, and what the deal is with Democrats outvoting Republicans in Early Voting. I think you’ll be interested.
