Started reading a conservative think piece about DEI that spelled “pinnacle” like “pinacol.” That’s enough for today.

Last but not least, I love seeing transit investments from #NewDEALer @kimdriscollma.bsky.social in my home state of Massachusetts!!! Growing up in the suburbs of Springfield, the options for reliable transit were few and far between. Excited to see where this goes!

#NewDEALer @levarstoney.bsky.social has had an amazing year in Richmond – he and his team surpassed their affordable housing goals, breaking ground on over 3,000 units in just over a year.

This #AI bill by #NewDEALer Josh Becker is something out of a sci-fi movie – but in a world where personal data is a currency, it couldn't be more important. His bill become law in September!

To help bring more doctors to rural communities in #Colorado, #NewDEALers @meghanlukens.bsky.social and Dylan Roberts created a program that places med students in underserved areas. A great way for students to build skills and for patients to receive quality care.

The Oregon legislature – and particularly #NewDEALer and Congresswoman-elect Janelle Bynum - have leveraged the CHIPS Act so well, creating new pathways to STEM careers for students and adding millions to the state's tech industry.

This first time home buyer program from #NewDEALer @jonmitchellnb.bsky.social helps New Bedford residents with down payments, getting more people in homes and helping to build generational wealth.

This bill from #NewDEALer @ireneforva.bsky.social is so needed. It keeps utility companies from cutting off AC or heat for those who have missed payments in extreme temperatures. There's no reason why being late on your bills means you should freeze to death!!!

I LOVED getting to see #NewDEALer Amanda Gonzalez's work in #Colorado to help incarcerated voters cast ballots come to fruition. A great reminder that many people are eligible to vote but are held back by barriers.

Columbus's Project Taillight (from #NewDEALer @cityattyklein.bsky.social) is a great idea for both helping people get needed car repairs and reducing interactions with police. It expertly marries the need to lower costs AND improve public safety.

And as a bonus, I have to mention that I got to make *MY* #AnHonorableProfession debut this year with our DNC recap episode! I loved talking with Ryan and Debbie about what Democrats did well at the DNC and what they could improve on.

I am so bummed I wasn't able to sit in on this interview with Milwaukee County Supervisor Marcelia Nicholson but it's still a top episode for me! Hearing her talk is so refreshing and makes me optimistic about the future of the country and the caliber of our leaders.

AHP was lucky to get a preview of @thirdway.bsky.social's phenomenal post-election polling from Lanae Erickson. As I tried to make sense of the results, I found the poll insights to be very helpful and Lanae's presentation of the findings to be deeply human AND strategic.

Post-election, I find myself going back to this conversation with @meghanlukens.bsky.social, where she talks about finding areas of compromise and treating her colleagues with respect no matter what. Her episode feels like required listening heading into 2025

It's always a pleasure to hear from @alexbores.bsky.social. And while he (of course!) shares some great insights on AI and tech in government, I really appreciated his political philosophy, as well as his drive to prove that government can be a force of good.

I still can't believe Mayor Phillip Jones took time the DAY BEFORE HIS WEDDING to talk to Debbie and I about everything happening in Newport News. I love his model for the "Year of the Youth," and we got to talk about how much we both love Annapolis.

@mnstevesimon.bsky.social earns the award for quote of the year when it comes to elections: "High turnout, low drama." Secretary Simon touches on all the components key to strengthening democracy: voting rights, election security, and year-round civic engagement.

Listening to @meganforiowa.bsky.social's episode, I was reminded what it means to have a government BY the people FOR the people. As a doctor and a young Iowan, she brings a critical and nuanced perspective to serving her community in the state legislature.

I LOVED hearing from Congress-woman elect Kristen McDonald Rivet from the campaign trail. She's as real as they come, and I was so thrilled by her mission to reclaim patriotism from the far right. There is so much Democrats across the country can learn from her.

Ryan's conversation with @kclouts.bsky.social was incredibly moving – from Rep. Cloutier's authentic and harrowing reflections on the shooting in Lewiston, ME, to her optimistic approach to engaging college students at Bates. Definitely worth a listen!

First up is our conversation with Milwaukee Mayor @cavalierjohnson.bsky.social. I loved hearing about the Mayor's investment in his hometown and all the incredible ways Milwaukee has been able to use federal funds to improve public safety, build new housing, and more!

2024 was an exciting year for #AnHonorableProfession! We hosted a special messaging series, recored episodes at the DNC, and joined The Democracy Group to reach new audiences. Here's a rundown of my favorite episodes I got to work on as producer this year...
