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.
Democrats maintain Senate control and the Republicans eye the House. Matt breaks down early election results and says goodbye.

Nationwide Update and Jayme Stevenson
Democrats are in a good position to keep control of the Senate as Republicans eye flipping the House. CT Republican Running for Congress, Jayme Stevenson, comes on to discuss policing, political divisiveness and leading through difficult times.
Disclaimer: The interview at 5:08 is not up to the quality of sound we have for our previous interviews. This was due to equipment malfunctions. Regardless the conversation with Jayme Stevenson sheds light on important issues surrounding this year's midterms. You can expect other episodes to have greatly improved sound quality.

Unity in Florida and a Conversation with Tim Malloy
Biden and Desantis shake hands, Matt and 14-time Emmy winner Tim Malloy discuss Georgia, Bidens rise in approvals and taking criticism from politicians.
UPDATE: Reporting came out after the recording of this episode asserting that Herschel Walker, staunch Pro-Lifer, paid for an ex-girlfriend's abortion. It remains to be seen how this bombshell report will affect his already bumpy campaign to become Georgia’s next senator but I’d be shocked if his polling numbers don’t worsen.
