In recent years, more than ever people in favor of major change rail against the two party system in the United States and how it's not helpful for enacting change through the political process. So we're talking this week about what does embracing your voice: being unapologetically yourself, and representing the interests of your community, look like while representing a political party, specifically the Democratic Party
I'm joined by Precious McKesson, Executive Director of the Nebraska Democratic Party. A single mom who got into public service to help her family made history in Democratic politics when she became the first woman and the first Black person to cast an Electoral college ballot for a Democrat in Nebraska in 2020. Prior to that, she a former Biden Administration Political Appointee to the Office of Communications and Outreach in the US Department of Education and former political director for the 2020 Presidential Campaign of Joe Biden in the 2nd District of Nebraska
Precious' leadership and organizing on behalf of Democrats for her community in Omaha was described by NBC News in 2018 as "indicative of a new breed of Democratic operative - progressive, outspoken and authentic, even in a deep red state"
