On select Fridays, host Jason Rosenbaum will question elected officials, and shine the spotlight on the issues that matter. And we’ll empower your voice into the conversation about the future of our community and states.
The Politically Speaking Hour is sponsored by the Sue & Lynn Schneider Charitable Fund.
