Curtain raiser (curtain raised) on my conversation with Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.).

Podcast Episode #1 – Rep. Don Bacon talks with Article One

We spoke in late September shortly before the ebbs and flows and ebb of the negotiations between the White House and Speaker Nancy Pelosi on reaching a 5th COVID-related economic recovery package.

As of this writing, it appears Rep. Bacon’s outlook proved prescient.

Bacon touches on politics briefly in our chat but mostly we discussed his work as a lawmaker representing a deeply purple district in a deeply divided Congress.

The retired Air Force lieutenant colonel shares bits of his personal life, areas where he disagrees with President Trump and ways that legislating in Congress has helped the folks of the 2nd District in Nebraska.

Take a listen and let me know your thoughts.

*** Correction – I accidentally assigned Bacon to the 5th district … mea culpa … Bacon represents the SECOND District … many thanks for the heads up (she types sheepishly) ***
