Snoqualmie City Councilmember Rob Wotton joins the show to discuss his race for King County Council. We learn how Rob has been a longtime champion of small businesses and how that led him to run for office. We discuss the troubling business climate, stifling cost of living, and rising crime levels in King County, and, given these trends, why always siding with the majority isn't the leadership King County needs.

You can follow Rob's campaign on Facebook and learn more at his website.

Rep. Andrew Barkis joins the pod to explain why Washington is in a housing "crisis." He describes the impact of long-standing single-party rule leading to more and more central planning gone awry. We talk rent control...excuse us, rent "stabilization"...before transitioning to transportation. How would a road usage bill actually work?

Rep. Chris Corry joins the show for another legislative update. Chris serves as the Republican Deputy Leader, and he explains what exactly that job entails. We dive into various policy topics centering around a rhetorical question: Can the government love your children? We discuss the recent controversy sparked by Sen. Pedersen's comments on Fox News, men in women's sports, and failures of the educational system. Once again, we ask the question of whether democrats change their tune behind closed doors. What can people do to push back when these 80/20 issues are stifled?
