I'm Jason Kander.

Welcome to Majority 54.

If you're a progressive in a red state or just a progressive who wants to keep talking

with your friends and family from back home, I'm here to help you have those conversations.

Because I think it's really important that you do, that you don't just throw up your

hands and shut down.

We're never going to win arguments that we don't make.

And Majority 54 is here to help you make the argument.

It's really crippling the outcome that that provides.

So like I said, 20 years ago, I got in and I said, look, I'm never going to be a wealthy

man, but I'm going to have a job that I love that matters.

And I'll be able to raise a family and a good community.

I'm on board with that.

Sign me up.

I will serve my community in that way.

And the economics of that have changed significantly in the last eight years to the point

that I don't know that that package that they're presenting now is as appealing to new people

wanting to get into this profession.

And that's a real concern.

This is my friend Steve Droski, who sat down with me for this episode to talk about

public education, particularly the way that it gets treated by politicians.

This episode is pure fire.
