Two-Time House Candidate Adam Frisch on Democrats' Path Forward

Episode 7 - Two-Time House Candidate Adam Frisch on Democrats' Path Forward Adam Frisch is a tough dude, a glutton for punishment, and a serious optimist.  Across two races to represent Colorado’s rural 3rd Congressional District, the self-described “pro-business, pro-energy, moderate, pragmatic Democrat” drove 77,000 miles—a third of the way to the Moon—to meet voters where they were.  He lost both races, the first to Lauren Boebert by just 546 votes in the closest House race of 2022, but each time, he dramatically outperformed expectations.Not done with trying to make a difference, he then ran for vice-chair of the Democratic National Committee.  That race was a little bit less close—as it turns out, “moderate” and “pragmatic” are not words that play particularly well at conventions.Now, Adam is on Substack as a “proud centrist working with The Welcome Party on building a winning coalition.”Adam and I had a great time discussing, well, what Democrats love to discuss: how did we get here, and how do we get away from here?Stay tuned for more episodes coming soon with commentary on current events and interviews with people from across the political spectrum.
