Summary

Councilman At Large Isaiah Thomas is someone who dedicated his life to education and youth athletics. In his present role in Philadelphia government he wears a lot of hats but makes sure to never forget his roots or the spirit of giving, community and family. He joins us today to discuss his rise in politics, specifically going from losing his first race in a landslide to netting the most votes in 2023’s primary and general elections. We also get tough about education, namely the underfunding to Philly schools by the state of Pennsylvania, past mismanagement from the heads of the school district and problems with Rocnation’s $300M voucher program. We also take an honest look at the 2024 Presidential election and how we can make Philadelphia truly great!! All this and more on this episode of The Realest Podcast Ever.
