Hey folks,
I sat down with Brian Poindexter, the Democratic candidate taking on Republican Rep. Max Miller in Ohio, and this one gets right to the heart of why this race matters.
Brian is an ironworker, a longtime city councilman, and someone who says voters across party lines are rallying around his campaign. We talk about the allegations against Miller, the fight over Brian’s new campaign ad, and what it means to actually represent working people in Washington.
[00:01:09] Brian tells me what he’s hearing at the doors: people are working harder, doing everything right, and still falling behind.
[00:03:34] We dig into the serious allegations against Max Miller and how Brian approaches Republican voters who may be uncomfortable supporting a Democrat but have concerns about Miller.
[00:06:40] We talk about the growing distance between politicians and their constituents, and why Brian believes his background as an ironworker and local elected official gives him a different perspective.
[00:09:26] Brian makes the case that wealth and political connections create a two-tier system of accountability, and explains why that frustration crosses party lines.
[00:11:57] We close with the stakes of the race, Brian’s campaign against Miller, and what supporters can do during the final stretch.
This is about more than one congressional race. It’s about accountability, working people having a voice, and whether our representatives actually understand the lives of the people they’re supposed to serve. Brian lays out the case he’s making to Democrats, independents, and Republicans, and why he believes this race can break through old partisan lines. If you value conversations that put working people and accountability front and center, help me keep them going.
