Levels to Political Engagement

On this episode of Levels to This, Sheryl Swoopes and Terrika Foster-Brasby sit down with Kansas State Senator—and candidate for KS governor—Cindy Holscher to talk about leadership, equity, and the future of democracy. Holscher shares how her daughter inspired her to run for office, the lessons she’s learned working across the aisle, and why she believes collaboration beats outrage. The conversation covers livable wages, reproductive rights, and women’s representation in politics—plus her reaction to a shocking leak of racist messages from young Republican leaders. A sharp, hopeful reminder that local politics matter and every vote counts. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
