Doctor and Mayor: Don’t Leave it to Amateurs. Conversation with Brad Cohen

About this episode

Dr. Brad Cohen discusses his qualifications and experiences as a physician and mayor, and how they can impact Congress.

Washington is a shark tank, says Dr. Brad Cohen, a physician and the sitting Mayor of East Brunswick. In this episode, we discuss how taking care of patients and delivering babies as a gynecologist, protecting education as a school board member, and negotiating economic development and housing as a mayor makes him qualified to make a difference in Congress. In all his pursuits, he’s been willing to study, learn, and work to fix problems. Can this executive mindset be useful in Washington? https://bradcohenforcongress.com/
