WiseUp with Candidate for U.S. Congress, Jan McDowell

In this episode, Alishba Javaid talks to Jan McDowell, running for the United States House of Representatives.  She hopes to defeat incumbent Republican Beth Van Duyne, but first, she has to win a Primary Runoff Election coming up on May 24.  She is running in District 24, which covers parts of Dallas, suburbs of North Dallas, Mid-Cities, and suburbs of north Fort Worth, against Derrik Gay in the Democratic Primary Runoff.  In this episode she talks about how her background as a CPA helps her analyze issues of importance, like the economy, and she discusses other issues most important to her, like climate change!  Tune in and learn more.  Read more about her campaign on her website here.
