Welcome to Politics 101! I’m Mo Brown, and I break down local, state, and national politics in a clear, relatable way. Too often, local politics get overlooked — even though we pay local taxes just like federal ones. We deserve to be informed, and I’m here to help make sure we are — one listener at a time.
