E9: Christian Urrutia

Christian Urrutia is a Democratic candidate for New Hampshire's highly-competitive First Congressional District seat being vacated by Rep. Chris Pappas (who is seeking to replace the retiring Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in the US Senate in 2026).In what has become a crowded primary field, Urrutia is hoping to use a combination of an intriguing collection of life experiences (a successful attorney in private practice, a veteran, an appointee in President Biden's Department of Defense, a first-generation American, and currently an executive with AirBnB), a "progressive outsider " brand of policies to break through. In this episode, we get into depth on everything from health care (he supports Medicare For All), to the Israel/Hamas war (he has been an international human rights attorney), to housing, to why Democrats' brand is struggling six months into the 2nd Trump term.
