Summary
The Progressive Senator Turner and Republican Governor John Kasich relive their tussled and tumbled good ole days in the Ohio Senate where they learned to listen to one another with respect, compassion, and empathy in order to get their jobs done -- to protect and serve their communities. This sensical “Odd Couple” has led by example and encourages us to do the same as we navigate this current moment of civil unrest within our necessary movement toward change.
