Los Angeles Filmmaker Voter Guide | The Cory Baker Show

In this week's episode, I get to combine my two great loves: filmmaking and politics. Specifically I take a filmmakers perspective on the Los Angeles Mayor's race and the California Governor's race. I try to keep things just to the platforms, but run through all the candidates including Karen Bass, Spencer Pratt, Nithya Raman, Xavier Becerra, Steve Hilton, Tom Steyer, Chad Bianco, Katie Porter and more.The Cory Baker Show is an audio podcast available on all major platforms.
