From the podcast team: “From his beginnings as a Navy engineer and patent attorney to his role as a local Democratic leader, Bill shares the experiences that shaped his path into public service. He reflects on guiding the party through two Trump eras, the power of grassroots organizing, and why youth voices are essential to building the future of politics.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
