American national politics is screwed, but in the other Washington, we're electing badass, progressive women with fresh ideas. In our first ever live taping of The Other Washington podcast—and Season 3 Finale!—we interviewed newly sworn-in Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, Seattle City Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda, and State Senator Manka Dhingra. All are women and first-time candidates and politicians. Listen as the whole Civic Ventures crew asks them about their experiences on the campaign trail, what policies they're excited to fight for, and how Washington state can continue to be a progressive beacon to the rest of the country. We talk with each individually and then for the first time ever all three sit down together and discuss the importance of this political moment. There's never been a better time to get involved in local politics. Join The Other Washington and Town Hall Seattle at Ballard’s Hale’s Ales Palladium for a night of political banter and dare we say…optimism!
