Rhode Island Lieutenant Governor Sabina Matos is expected to face competition from fellow Democrats when she seeks re-election next year. That is due to how a signature-gathering controversy dragged down her First Congressional District campaign in 2023. She finished fourth in the 12-way Democratic primary, with just 8% of the vote. But Matos is already staking out the ground to defend her job as lieutenant governor and perhaps one day climb higher in local politics. She's speaking out about immigrant rights and small businesses, and drawing attention to the problem posed by so-called food deserts. The lieutenant governor in Rhode Island has just a few official functions, and some Rhode Islanders question the value of the office. So is Matos now making more of a difference as the state's second ranking elected official? And can people like her do more to tackle Rhode Island's biggest challenges? This week on Political Roundtable, I'm going in depth with Rhode Island Lieutenant Governor Sabina Matos.

Representative Pat Ryan is a Democrat representing New York's 18th Congressional district, and is a former Army intelligence officer who deployed to Iraq. Together, they formed the House Modernization Caucus, driving key policies in national security innovation. On this episode of the Defense Tech Underground, Representative Wittman and Representative Ryan discuss the launch of the bipartisan Defense Modernization Caucus and early wins from the caucus in the 2025 NDAA. They explain the challenges for the Pentagon to move from a hardware centric organization to a software centric one, and discuss opportunities for the caucus to drive impact in defense innovation. This episode is hosted by Jeff Phaneuf and Helen Phillips. Congressman Wittman: Congressman Rob Wittman was first elected to the United States Congress to serve Virginia's First Congressional District in 2007. While in office, he has focused on strengthening our military and supporting our nation's veterans, promoting a flourishing economy through fiscal responsibility and pro-growth policies, fixing our crumbling infrastructure, increasing access to high-speed internet, and promoting workforce development through Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programs. In the U.S. Congress, Congressman Wittman serves as vice chairman of both the House Armed Services Committee and the House Natural Resources Committee, where he is well-positioned to represent the needs of Virginia's First District. He has earned a strong reputation for being an advocate for our men and women in uniform and for being a champion of the Chesapeake Bay. Congressman Wittman was re-elected for his ninth full term in the U.S. House of Representatives in November 2024 and prior to that, he served in several levels of government. Congressman Wittman won his first campaign for public office in 1986 when he was elected to the Montross Town Council, where he served for 10 years, four of them as mayor. In 1995, he was elected to the Westmoreland County Board of Supervisors and was elected its chairman in 2003. In 2005, voters in the 99th Legislative District elected Rob to the Virginia House of Delegates, where he served until his election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2007. Prior to his election to Congress, Rob spent 26 years working in state government, most recently as field director for the Virginia Health Department's Division of Shellfish Sanitation. Earlier in his career, he worked as an environmental health specialist for local health departments in Virginia's Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula regions. He holds a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration from Virginia Commonwealth University, a Master of Public Health degree in Health Policy and Administration from the University of North Carolina, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Virginia Tech. Congressman Ryan: Congressman Pat Ryan is a fifth-generation Hudson Valley native, proud Kingston High School alum, and the first West Point graduate to represent the Academy in the U.S. House of Representatives. Ryan served two combat tours in Iraq, earning two Bronze Stars. Prior to his 2022 election to Congress, Ryan served the community that raised him as Ulster County Executive. There, Ryan led the County through the COVID-19 pandemic and spearheaded policies that delivered relief to working families while never raising taxes. He led the charge to revitalize the former IBM site, now known as iPark 87, helped put money back in small business owners and residents' pockets, took on corporate special interests, and delivered new investments in mental health services. In Congress, Ryan is focused on defending fundamental freedoms and delivering relief for Hudson Valley families. Serving on the House Armed Services Committee, Ryan is working on issues of military preparedness, countering the threat of a rising China, and investing in the United States Military Academy and the next generation of military leaders. As a member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Ryan is committed to improving the daily lives of all residents in NY-18. Whether you commute to work on Metro North, travel Route 17 through Orange County, or need broadband access in Dutchess County, he will fight every day to improve our region's infrastructure. Ryan has also championed efforts to expand access to affordable health care, support local law enforcement, preserve Social Security and Medicare, prevent gun violence, and protect a woman's right to choose. Ryan lives in Gardiner, NY with his wife, Rebecca, and their two young sons, Theo and Cameron.

Rhode Island Lieutenant Governor Sabina Matos was the early favorite in the race for an open seat in the First Congressional District last year. But a signature-gathering scandal took on a life of its own, and undermined Matos' hopes of landing in Congress. Her boss, Governor Dan McKee, shows how a lieutenant governor can move up if they're in the right place at the right time. But some Rhode Islanders continue to question the value of the lieutenant governor's office. So what does Matos say about that? What has she done to overcome the disappointment of her performance in last year's congressional race? And what does Matos say about Democrats losing support among Latinos? This week on Political Roundtable, Ian Donnis goes in-depth with Lieutenant Governor Sabina Matos.

Moore is seeking the Democratic nomination to oppose MAGA Republican Nancy Mace in the 1st CD in South Carolina.Discover how Moore is carrying the family legacy in South Carolina, seeking to follow in the footsteps of his pioneering great-great-grandfather in Congress 150 years ago.In 2020, Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina's First Congressional District, edged out Democratic incumbent Rep. Joe Cunningham…who had been the first Democrat to flip a House seat in South Carolina in 30 years. Mace won by just 5,400 votes, or one percent.Then, two years ago, following redistricting, Mace won reelection by 14 percent.Since then, Mace was critical of Trump following the Jan. 6, 2021 MAGA attack on the U.S. Capitol, but she's endorsed Trump – despite the many criminal charges against him and his conviction for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s.Now, Moore, a forward-thinking business executive, is one of two Democrats running in the June 11 SC primary for the chance to oppose Mace in November. As he focuses on carrying the family legacy, his opponent in the primary is attorney Mac Deford, whose interview on this podcast is now streaming.We're pleased to have Moore with us on the Lean to the Left podcast, but before we get to that, please visit podcast.leantotheleft.net, where you'll find thumbnails and links to all of our episodes. You can subscribe there too. And don't forget to give us a rating wherever you listen. Five stars would be super cool. Here are some questions we addressed with Moore, who is carrying the family legacy in SC:Q. Michael, you come from a long line of pioneering public servants, including your great-great-grandfather, Civil War hero and Reconstruction Era Congressman Robert Smalls. In 1862, Smalls commandeered a Confederate ship in Charleston harbor, carrying his family and 15 other enslaved people to freedom. He went on to become one of the first African Americans to serve in Congress, and now you're seeking the same House seat held by your great-great-grandfather almost 150 years ago. That's quite a legacy, Michael. But can you give us a quick summary of your background and why it qualifies you to serve in Congress?Q. Late last month a federal court ruled that the South Carolina elections will be held under a map already deemed unconstitutional and discriminatory against Black voters by the same three-judge panel that found that the state used race as a proxy for partisan affiliation, a violation of the 14th amendment to the Constitution. Your thoughts about that.Q. What are your thoughts about Congresswoman Mace supporting Trump after criticizing him for the Jan. 6 insurrection?Q. What are your top priorities for Congressional action in the next two years?Q. Your district, District 1, is dependent on tourism, sensitive to climate issues, in need of affordable housing. It's comprised of varied communities with different needs. If elected, how will you deal with those issues and meet those needs?Q. How will you address the challenges of healthcare accessibility and affordability?Q. How do you plan to engage with and represent underrepresented or marginalized groups in our district? Q. Trump and the Republicans are talking about Social Security and Medicare cuts. Your thoughts? Q. Where do you stand on the issue of reproductive rights? Q. What about immigration?Q. Many voters are frustrated by the inability of Congress to pass legislation in recent years. Some members, including numerous Republicans, are leaving Congress because of their frustration. Why do you believe it will be any different for you?Q. Why did you decide to take on this challenge? South Carolina isn't exactly Democrat friendly!

There has been a lot of controversy - and lies - this week over the re-authorization of FISA (the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act). Rep. Crenshaw sat down with Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, a former FBI agent and member of House Intel, to debunk the hand wringing and misconceptions about FISA. They give an overview of FISA's history and its distinction between Title One and Title Three, and delve into the role of Section 702 in enhancing national security measures. Misconceptions surrounding FISA are addressed, including the distinction between evidence collection and querying lawfully obtained data. They scrutinize proposals for a secondary warrant requirement and their potential impact on law enforcement investigations. They also discuss limitations on law enforcement capabilities and proposed reforms to prevent abuses within intelligence agencies. For 14 years prior to representing his hometown of Pennsylvania's First Congressional District, Brian Fitzpatrick served our nation both as an FBI Special Agent and Federal Prosecutor, fighting both domestic and international political corruption, and supporting global counterterrorism and counterintelligence efforts – including being embedded with U.S. Special Forces as part Operation Iraqi Freedom.

While in New Zealand, she was elected to serve as President of the Diplomatic Spouses Association. She is also a grandmother with a lifelong career of service. She worries about the future of our nation under the Biden Administration, which is intent on eroding our freedoms at home and our strength around the globe. I met Gail many years ago, as she was a journalist at one of the larger Boston TV stations, and I was always amazed by her charisma, beauty, intellect, and interest, as well as how well she always portrayed the stories that she was reporting on. She is running for Congress in New Hampshire's 1st Congressional District to challenge a liberal Democrat, take back the seat, and make sure that a little bit of New England sees some red. Today, Gail joins me to be the voice for strong conservative women. She discusses the consequences of how the Biden Administration is handling Covid-19, explains why spending more isn't the solution, and shares her thoughts on the vaccine mandate, particularly when it comes to children. She tells the story of how she became interested in journalism, points out the condescension of many vaccine mandate supporters, and emphasizes the need to reinstill depleted trust and hope. She points out that conservative women in particular have been silenced and urges them to speak up. “My uterus, my gender is not up for political debate, and it cannot be traded on a political spectrum.”- Gail Huff Brown This Week on Political Contessa: • The consequences of the Biden Administration's handling of Covid 19 • Why more spending isn't the solution • The vaccine mandate • Why Gail became a journalist and a politician • The importance of taking five seats in the house • Reinstilling trust and hope • Un-silencing conservative women Resources Mentioned: • Gail Huff Brown on Twitter • gailhuffbrownforcongress.com • pocketbookproject.org Don't Forget to Pick Up My Quick Guide!

Today we're joined by Congresswoman Cori Bush! Back in 2020, Bush made history as the first Black woman elected to represent Missouri's First Congressional District. With the upcoming midterms, we wrestle with the messaging coming from the Democratic Party (3:45), Bush's fight for police reform and affordable housing (7:10), and the power of grassroots politics (8:20). Then we turn to Bush's new memoir, The Forerunner, where she discusses her upbringing in St. Louis (9:20), her father's formative lessons on leadership (10:50), the challenges she faced in high school (15:02), and how she persisted through periods of homelessness as a single mother (29:14). On the back-half, we discuss her work on the ground of the Ferguson protests (32:09), a stirring speech from Angela Davis (38:15), her renewed focus on legislation around mental health (43:30), why she continues to believe in a “politivist” approach to public service (47:50), and why she's holding onto hope this November (51:20).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
As Midterms continue to creep ahead at a rapid rate and analysis of the GOP's "Red Wave" continues to mount as aggressively across most conservative commentary, Charlie continues to needle in on a question we've not seen asked by any other program: what are the benefits of a Narrow MAGA majority vs. a Sweeping GOP Landslide? Congressman Matt Gaetz from Florida's First Congressional District joins Charlie to discuss the pros and cons of each. They also talk leadership races, agenda, and Democrats' hopes in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs. Next, CEO of TRUTH Social and Former Congressman Devin Nunes joins Charlie to weigh in on that and much more, including breaking news about Igor Danchenko, John Durham, Russian Collusion, and his insider analysis of it all. He also shares updates on the growth of TRUTH Social and what the former president's platform is doing to differentiate itself from other silicon valley competitors.
