Hello, hello!

I am so excited to share one of two candidate interviews with you.

This week we’ll be highlighting the Democratic Primary candidates for Governor’s Council. If you’re not sure what Governor’s Council is, don’t forget to read the Buzz article on Governor’s Council.

In this interview, I sit down with challenger, Mara Dolan, in the BCAT podcast studio. We talk about Mara’s background as a public defender, her personal experience with substance use disorder, and what her top priorities would be as a Councilor.

Enjoy!
