#VoteSafe! This Fall, we're excited to have Jane joining us on the show! Welcome Jane. This episode Jane, Ellie, and Dan welcome Ryan Pierannunzi from Power The Polls, an organization dedicated to recruiting over 250,000 young poll workers this election.

We dive into the essential nature of poll workers, the implications of a generational shift in who serves as a poll worker, and why you should go sign up to be one! Yes you! powerthepolls.org

After the break, we dive into the Political Ladder, an unofficial term used to describe the path local politicians take toward higher office. Some begin with school board and move to city council, state legislature, and eventually U.S. Congress. Voter turnout in local elections are historically low, meaning not only are so few choosing their local representation, but so few are opening the gates for many to enter a career in politics. The three of us get into it from all angles.
