Josh Boschee Trailblazes for All North Dakotans
Happy Pride Month! Host and NewDEAL CEO Debbie Cox Bultan talks with Josh Boschee, North Dakota House minority leader, and the first openly gay person to be elected to the legislature in that state. He shares his experience running for office, and his work to make Dakota more inclusive during a time when political red herrings are used to block the progress already made. Josh shares the recent political history of North Dakota and how the state was not always ruby red. He gives his insight into why the politics of his state have evolved over time, and how his work on the Obama campaign gave him the experience to get involved in running for office!
Stay tuned to the end to hear his efforts to use the massive state surplus to invest in North Dakotans, including addressing the benefits cliff and getting more people on the path to upward mobility!
