Show Notes

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey faces a progressive challenge from independent candidate Andrea James, a former real estate attorney turned community organizer. James, disbarred and imprisoned for wire fraud, has since built advocacy groups and worked with Obama and Biden on justice reforms. Frustrated by both parties focus on wealthy donors, James switched to independent, advocating for issues like single-payer healthcare, rent control, and prison moratoriums. Her grassroots campaign, funded by small donations, pushes for a $25 minimum wage, free childcare, and fully funded schools.
