This week, I talk with Ryan Brown, Deputy Commissioner at the Mississippi Public Service Commission. We talked about:* Growing up and becoming a Democrat in a very Republican home* Working with the Democratic Party in Mississippi* Going to Ole Miss for Political Science* His father hiring the first black police officer for the Jackson Police Department * His role with the Public Service Commission and what they do.I met Ryan at a speaking engagement recently and we hit it off. Really great guy, and I couldn't wait to pick his brain. This is a very informative episode for my political heads, as well.
