In this episode Lew discusses the constant tension between a person’s principles and navigating toward success in politics, whether it’s the choice of candidates made by a voter, or the way a candidate for office conducts their race, and themselves. Lew talks about the usual ways voters go about picking a candidate, and the pitfalls involved. He also discusses how to/and how not to work with legislators, and why your choice of candidate, whether to vote or to volunteer for, doesn’t always have anything to do with the candidate themselves. Lew gives a shout out to the Foundation for Applied Conservative Leadership (FACL) and their fabulous training programs for activists and candidates. FACL: https://facl-training.org/.
