She's Running: A School Board Candidate's Journey with Lindsey Wyckoff

In episode 55, we talk with Lindsey Wycoff who is running for her local school board in North Canton, Ohio. She shares what a role on a school board looks like, the highs and lows of her campaign, and how we can support the public school system in this country.
