Garlin Gilchrist II, Michigan's Lieutenant Governor and gubernatorial candidate, shares how his unique background as a software engineer and tech entrepreneur shapes his vision for the state's future. This fascinating conversation reveals how engineering principles can transform governance and policy-making."Being an engineer, you learn to be a problem solver," Gilchrist explains, drawing parallels between fixing broken systems and addressing Michigan's challenges. With experience at Microsoft and multiple tech startups before entering politics, he brings a refreshingly analytical approach to public service rarely found among elected officials.Gilchrist outlines his major accomplishments, including a landmark $250 million investment in affordable housing and establishing 40 mental health clinics statewide through the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Program. His creation of Michigan's automatic criminal record expungement program—the Clean Slate Program—has helped over 330,000 people gain access to jobs, housing, and education opportunities previously denied them because of past mistakes.The conversation delves into Michigan's unique assets: unparalleled engineering talent, abundant natural resources (including 21% of the world's fresh water), and the nation's second most diverse agricultural economy. Gilchrist articulates how these advantages position Michigan for leadership in emerging sectors like clean energy, agricultural technology, and creative industries—if the right leadership is in place.Drawing from personal experience leaving Michigan after college for better opportunities elsewhere, Gilchrist speaks passionately about creating an environment where young talent stays and thrives.

Public education is under serious pressure. The Supreme Court's Mahmoud v. Taylor decision allowing parents to opt students out of instruction featuring LGBTQ-related themes or materials, $6.8 billion in federal funds being withheld by the US Department of Education, and attacks on higher education all signal a new chapter for education in the United States. John Arthur breaks it all down this week with special guest Rebekah Cummings, librarian extraordinaire and 2024 candidate for Utah's Lieutenant Governor.

Politics, the concept not the American spectator sport, comes from Ancient Greek politiká or 'affairs of the cities' and is defined as “a set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups.” Little is known about the lead up to the July First joint rally of Virginia's three state-wide candidates, Winsome Earle-Sears the nominee for Governor, John Reid for Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General Jason Miyares running for re-election. Many insiders expressed concern over the media coverage of allegations of scandalous photographs or the nation-wide coverage that Reid was a gay would put a rift in the party. However, one thing is sure, after rally after rally of standing room only crowds, the former George Allen aide proved that he had learned well from the former Senator and Governor how to focus on the positives ahead of them as he sits down with us on the eve of this kickoff rally.

Charlie James talking with former Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer about his run to challenge with Senator Lindsey Graham From members of the senate. We do have, senate primary coming up next year, and we got some folks running against Lindsey Graham. One of those people is former lieutenant governor Andre Bauer who joins us right now. Andre, welcome to the program. Hope you're doing well, sir. Charlie j, thank you for having me on, brother. So let me ask you. What was, what made you pull the trigger on this decision? You know, Charlie, I thought about it back in '19. I've just continued year after year, decade after decade, watched Lindsay put Washington policies and foreign priorities ahead of, I think, South Carolina and America First priority. And after just pushing to get our president reelected, I've just watched how people in South Carolina feel like they are not, looked after. They don't feel like they have a seat at the table. They feel like they sent a president to Washington for change, but they feel like they got a senator that's working against them every chance he's gotten. I mean, he's been against Trump. He said nasty things about Trump. He ran against Trump in 2016. And so we're not seeing you know, I don't know how many decades you get before taxes have gotta go down. We gotta do something at the border. We've gotta quit fighting all these wars overseas. I mean, we expect action. And year after year, he hasn't had an opponent that could fund a a real campaign against him, and so it's always been funding. And so I'm hoping people will go to andrebauer.com and get involved. It's an opportunity to take our country back, to really get somebody in there to spot for the taxpayer. You know, when I was lieutenant governor Charlie, the the senate's caucus or the senate continued to propose tax increases. For eight years, I ruled every single tax increase out of order. That's why your car tax until I left state at $300. They only changed it after I got out of office and raised it on people of South Carolina. I'll do the same thing in Washington, Charlie. I'm not gonna let them continue to raise taxes, stand out of control. Look. Lindsay took office with term limits. He committed to term limits. Those have long since gone. They were twelve years. He committed to balanced budget. He also told us he was gonna act like a conservative. Well, how can you go from having a budget less than 5,000,000,000,000 when you took office to 37,000,000,000,000 now and say, you're for less government. You're up there fighting the good fight. Look. Fool me once. Shame on me. You fooled me so many elections that the voters have had enough. They're fed up. I'm fed up. I've got four children that in somewhere in in the age range, we're trying to teach them to be good spot responsible stewards of their dollar. But we got a government that doesn't take anything to give billions of dollars to countries all around the world when we can't pay our own bills. It makes zero sense. That's why. He's a globalist. He's a he's more concerned about the world than he is about Conway or Pickens or Greenville or Spartanburg or or Reed. We want somebody looking after our counties. Look. He doesn't even show up except every now and then around election time. The rest of the time, he's traveling the world. He went with Menendez, who's now in federal prison, and traveled all over Europe on your dime. On the taxpayer dime, he traveled Europe with senator Menendez and his wife went to Paris. I mean, average hardworking taxpayers don't get to do that, and they sure don't think their elected officials should be doing that. Shame on him. We need to change. I hope they'll go to hope you'll go to charlie.gredbauer.com and visit, because we we're gonna create a movement in South Carolina to take back our government. There is a poll out there that say 60% well, 57% of South Carolinians think it's time for a change in the senate. Is now are we seeing right ...

Ward 6 Councilmember Charles Allen joined Kojo and Tom to discuss his priorities in a tight budget year. Plus, Allen weighs in on D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser's push for stricter youth curfew laws.The bill calls for an 11 p.m. citywide summer curfew for 17-year-olds or younger. Currently, the curfew starts at midnight and applies to those 16 or younger. The proposal also would allow D.C. police to create special zones where the curfew could be set as early as 7 p.m. for 15 consecutive days. However, Councilmember Allen questioned the strategy."Are we pulling away MPD resources to go enforce a curfew that we need them in other places,?" he asked.Allen also said a tougher curfew shouldn't be passed as emergency legislation and without public hearings. The Council is expected to consider it early next month.Send us questions and comments for guests: kojo@wamu.orgFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/wamu885Follow us on Bluesky: bsky.app/wamu.org

A conversation with two of six Democratic candidates for Lieutenant Governor.  

Pat Wright is a San Diego native and a lifelong advocate for liberty and individual rights. My journey with the Libertarian Party began in 1980, working on the Ed Clark presidential campaign. Since then, I've taken on both political and activist roles to fight government overreach and champion personal freedom. Libertarian Party Leadership & Campaigns 1984: Ran for Congress against the corrupt and disgraced Duncan Hunter. 1980s-1990s: Challenged corrupt establishment politicians, including Mike Gotch, who claimed he wouldn't take developer money—until he did. 1986-1996 (approx.): Served as Chair of the San Diego Libertarian Party, where I also ran the San Diego Libertarian Supper Club, bringing libertarians together for strategy and community. 1991-1993: Elected Chairman of the Libertarian Party of California, where we doubled membership and built a solid, action-oriented organization. 2002: Ran for Lieutenant Governor with the ballot title “Ferret Legalization Coordinator”—a fun fight that confused state officials, especially when it came to translating it into Mandarin. Ferret Advocacy & Activism After my second term as LPC Chair, I founded Ferrets Anonymous, leading the charge to legalize ferrets in California, one of only two states that still bans them. Decades later, I'm still at it, working through legal, legislative, and grassroots channels to get the job done. You can see my work at legalizeferrets.org. Running a nonprofit membership organization for over 30 years has given me invaluable experience—something I'll carry into revitalizing the Libertarian Party of California. What I'm Doing Now Currently, I'm semi-retired, though California's broken policies have made that challenging. After inheriting a duplex, I saw my property tax increase by 1,000% due to Proposition 19—and after three years of red tape, I still couldn't get a building permit. A successful retirement? That would've been nice. Now, I joke that I'm training to be a Walmart greeter instead.

Matt Crawford speaks with candidate for Lieutenant Governor of California Janelle Kellman about her career and political aspirations. As the Mayor of Sausalito, member of the Town Council, and across ten years serving on the Sausalito Planning Commission, Janelle solved many of the same challenges facing California today. Janelle looks to take action with economic policies that directly improve the affordability of living in our state - job creation, supporting small business, workforce development, and balancing California's budget - so all can continue to live in our great state!

Today's podcast is another special episode, this week recorded live in New York at the recent Transforming Infrastructure Performance Summit hosted by Bentley Systems.My guest is Aruna Miller, Lieutenant Governor of Maryland State, who I interviewed to open the summit with a discussion on her role in the recovery and rebuild of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge which catastrophically collapsed in March 2024 after the container ship Dhali collided with a pier while passing beneath.In a matter of seconds, this vital transportation artery crumbled into the River, claiming the lives of six workers and bringing Baltimore's economy to a standstill. The collapse was a pivotal event with profound implications for Maryland State, raising many questions about the value of our infrastructure and the economic and social consequences of failure.And as a civil engineer turned politician, the Lieutenant Governor clearly has a unique perspective on the challenge of recovering and rebuilding after this disaster.I started by taking her back to the 26 March 2024 to talk us through the immediate response to the collapse. ResourcesTransforming Infrastructure Performance Summit New YorkThe Francis Scott Key Bridge rebuildMaryland State infrastructure priorities US Federal Government FSK Bridge response Bentley Systems Infrastructure Policy AdvancementLieutenant Governor Aruna MillerICE FSK question and answer

Excessive regulations can strangle small businesses, delay job creation, and burden entrepreneurs with unnecessary red tape. But in Georgia, leaders are taking action to fix it. In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones to discuss the Red Tape Rollback Act, a bold initiative aimed at reducing government overreach and making the state more business-friendly. Jones explains how the legislation will require every state agency to regularly review and justify their regulations, ensuring only necessary and effective rules remain in place. He also highlights how regulatory burdens often create backlogs, slow licensing processes, and make it harder for individuals and businesses to thrive. As a lifelong businessman, Jones brings firsthand experience in dealing with government inefficiencies and is leading the charge to make Georgia a national model for streamlined governance. Tune in to hear how cutting through red tape will promote economic growth, create more opportunities, and put power back in the hands of the people.
