You're going to go. We're back with another edition of The Federalist Radio Hour.

I'm Emily Jershensky Culture editor here at the Federalist as always.

You can email the show at radio at the Federalist.com follow us on X at fDR LST and of course if you want to support our work

make sure to head over to the Federalist.com and try out the premium

version of our website as well. Today we're joined by Sophie Hamilton. She works in health studies

for a DC Libertarian Think Tank. She's also a young Voices fellow and

contributor and man Sophie has an interesting story to tell us today. So

Sophie, welcome to Federalist Radio Hour.

Thank you so much for having me on Emily.

I'm excited to be here.

Before we dive into your story, I actually just want to see if you could tell us a little bit about yourself.

How it is that you know you ended up working on

health policy here in DC where you're from. Catch us up on you a little bit.

Yeah so I'm from Jacksonville Florida I went to the University of Miami for undergrad and then after graduation I moved

up to DC and I've been here for about two years. I've been doing policy work at a think tank. I started off doing housing and welfare and now I'm in

health care mostly focusing on drug policy and I've also been with young

voices since January where I've been doing some freelance writing mainly focusing

on housing, welfare, and health policy studies.

Amazing and so people can follow your work at Sophie Hamilton on Twitter at S-O-F-I-E-H-M-T-T-I-E, Hamilton.

People can pick up on the stuff that you're doing over there, but actually for the purposes of this

discussion I'm not remotely surprised to learn that you're from Florida.

Because in fact what you are going to tell us about is this amazing story about how you sort of pushed the government here in the District of Columbia where I've lived for 12 or 13 years now and this has actually always been something that's been kind of a bugaboo and every conservative woman who lives in DC knows about this.
