My name is Matt Hawryluk and I’ve taken a selfie with a President, fist-bumped a transportation secretary, interned in state government, and helped craft two digital marketing campaigns for politicians seeking office. Along the way, I’ve learned a thing or two about people and politics which I’m eager to share with you on this new podcast focusing on the American midterm elections. These elections will shape the future of our nation and government in profound ways that affect our everyday lives. With some expert guests and politicians seeking state and federal offices, I hope to bring you a no-BS podcast covering political issues across the spectrum and giving you a better understanding of how the ‘Merican Midterms are shaping up.
