But as someone asking a simple question: Can a Democrat earn the vote of conservative voters? We get into: • Why he believes he can win in a red district • Where he disagrees with his own party • The trust gap between Democrats and Republican voters • The real economic issues facing High Point and the Triad • What leadership actually looks like under pressure If you care about the future of leadership—not just politics—this is a conversation worth hearing.The Triad Podcast Network is proudly sponsored by The Ginther Group Real Estate, Dewey's Bakery, and Three Magnolias Financial Advisors.
