Shownotes Transcript

Well, if you're in the United States then you know this year, 2024, is yet another election year. The thing is, even though the presidential election this year guarantees to be a dystopian rematch of the 2020 election and subsequent debauchery including everything from Rudy Guiliani's melting head outside an adult sex toy store and Four Seasons Total Landscaping to another breach of the Capitol Buildings, there's also EVERY SINGLE House of Representatives seat up for grabs as well as a good portion of the senate AND of course your local elections. 

That's a shitload of voting so we brought in our favorite Legislative Director, Sarah Spellman, who you might know on Instagram as @senatorspellman, or you might recognize their voice from their appearance on our Pride Month episodes from last year. This year, Sarah is bringing their expertise in elections to us to explain basic civics and how to pick a candidate - and also the best way to connect with your representatives so they know about the issues that really matter to you. So tune into this extra long episode and make sure you're registered to vote! 

You can check your registration status and find information about everyone you're eligible to vote for this year by heading over to www.vote.org) (non-partisan!)
