And then the crew discusses how somebody who wants to run for a state or local office can win, and make a difference. In the podcast’s “Hermie’s Answering Machine” moment, a caller colorfully asks Hermie’s opinion about a long-standing state senator’s use of clearly foul language in a public speech, and whether its appropriate for an elected official to do so (or even if there is a double standard in the use of such language between Democrats and Republicans). So if you want a great lesson in politics and being a future candidate, this is the episode for you!
In this week’s episode, Sadler and the Senator welcome Virginia’s First District Congressional Committee Chairman and Senate Republican Caucus Communications Director Jeff Ryer and the Executive Director of the Republican Party of Virginia Ken Nunnenkamp to discuss the current state of politics both nationally and in Virginia, the Glen Youngkin, Winsome Earle-Sears and Jason Miyares’ historic victories in 2021, the upcoming federal election this November, and what it will take for Republicans to win back the House of Delegates and State Senate in 2023.
