Hey folks,

I went live with Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti to discuss corruption, broken systems, and what it actually looks like to govern for people. If you care about beating corruption and taking back the House, you need to watch this.

Here’s what we got into:

  • [00:01:06] Paige breaks down what Governor Shapiro’s endorsement means — and why rooting out corruption has defined both of their careers.

  • [00:04:05] How Paige took on (and beat) a deeply entrenched political machine in Scranton — as an independent.

  • [00:07:01] The receipts on Rob Bresnahan’s stock trading scandal — trading on votes while families pay the price.

  • [00:13:00] Why the Epstein scandal is about more than one man — and what it reveals about power protecting itself.

  • [00:17:57] Why mayors make better leaders — and why Washington desperately needs people who know how to actually govern.

This conversation is about more than one race. It’s about whether we’re willing to finally say enough — enough corruption, enough insider games, enough politicians using public office to enrich themselves. Paige has beaten corruption before, and she’s ready to do it again in Pennsylvania’s 8th. If you value honest leadership and real accountability, help me keep conversations like this going.
