About this episode

Andrew Kravatz discusses his political involvement and support for Cait Conley in the upcoming Democratic primary.

My guest today is Andrew Kravatz. Andrew recently completed his junior year at Fordham University, majoring in Political Science. Andrew is an intern for Cait Conley who is running to win the Democratic primary for Congress to flip NY District 17. With so many people complaining that young people are not politically involved, I was impressed with Andrew's passion to be the change he wants to see. He describes his confidence in Cait's background, service to our country, as well as the values and policies that she stands for. Andrew appreciates the loving examples from his parents and extended family who he describes as kind, selfless people, whose driving principle in life is to care for others. Caring for the whole person is foundational to his Jesuit education and Andrew was experientially embodied during his powerful high school service trips. Check out the show notes for links to Jay Forbes' letter to the editor in The Hudson Independent , the man responsible for introducing me to Andrew, an article Andrew wrote for Fordham's Political Review , as well as Cait Conley's website. Do Andrew proud, vote for Cait in the primary on June 23rd so we chose the best candidate to beat…
