Rob Tracinski discusses his Sixth District congressional campaign

About this episode

Rob Tracinski discusses his congressional campaign and the challenges of his past affiliation with the Tea Party.

Rob Tracinski, running for the Democratic Party nomination in the new Sixth District, is – and hear me out on this – a former Tea Party guy. I know, a lot of y’all area already turned off, but. Hear him out, is all I’ll say here. Tracinski joined me today for what I’ll call good political conversation, since I don’t think of myself as an interviewer. We talked about his former Tea Party-ness, and how that no doubt makes it hard to get his foot in the door with some Democrats, but also, in a +3 D Sixth District, having crossover appeal can be a benefit in the November part of the cycle. Again, hear him out.
