Welcome to Season 3, Episode 9! We
love bringing back guests and getting a chance to talk about more
topics. Today’s return guest is Brad Jenkins,
the President and CEO of the AAPI Victory
Fund, the first Super PAC focused on mobilizing Asian
American and Pacific Islander voters in the U.S. Brad Jenkins has a
long decorated history that includes being an award-winning
producer with Funny or
Die and founding Enfranchisement
Productions. In today’s conversation, we cover a LOT
of things including a reflection on the November mid-term
elections, the current congress, being a guest of Andy Kim and
watching many failed votes for Speaker of the House, the importance
of Ted Lieu’s role in the Democratic Party, how to battle
disinformation and outright lies, and what the Victory Fund will be
focusing on now. We encourage you to follow the work of the AAPI
Victory Fund and donate
to amplify their work. For previous episodes and information,
