Episode 19- Joel Engardio: San Francisco politician talks challenges of reforming the city

Joel Engardio studied journalism at Michigan State University and also has his masters degree from Harvard's school of government. Joel has written for the Boston Globe, NY Times, San Francisco Chronicle and Christian Science Monitoring. Joel also spent time working for the ACLU and was the first "story finder" for the organization. He recently took the dive into politics in San Francisco and calls himself a forward-thinking pragmatic democrat. While he lost the most recent election for supervisor of district 7 (despite having the most first-place votes), he continues to be a voice against the far-left progressive majority that dominates the city government of San Francisco.We spent nearly 2 hours talking about many different issues in San Francisco and had our fair share of constructive criticism to give. For this episode's bonus content, we spent time discussing Joel's background in Journalism and what his interpretation of the mainstream media (CNN, FoxNews, NY Times) is. I was very surprised by his experiences in media and what he believes the future of the entity is.
