  • The best way to get to know the candidates

    It's rare to get to hear candidates speak for more than a minute or two, so this is a great opportunity to get complete answers to important questions. I enjoy learning more about each candidate's platform, but I especially appreciate getting to know more about them as people. Citizen Tacoma introduces us to candidates much more effectively than print or pixels ever could. I'm so glad this podcast exists!
