In the Season 3 opener of Nourish, host Sarah Riedl sits down with Lisa Chou and Marita Bujold to learn about their conversation with Minnesota Representative Kaohly Her. They discuss the road that led Representative Her to run for office, from immigrating to the US as a child to helping other parents in her kids' school get politically active. Agriculture has always been something near and dear to Representative Her as a Hmong immigrant, making her a natural fit to co-author the Headwaters Community Food and Water Bill (HF1332 / SF1580). They also discuss the many committees that Representative Her sits on, as well as the difficulties of working in the split legislature landscape of Minnesota.

For more information on all of the work that Representative Her is doing, you can visit her website, or send an email at [email protected].
