Show Notes

Maya Contreras is an activist, a voting rights advocate, and now she's running for Congress in New York's 12th District. Maya was one of the very first guests on The Electorette, and has always been passionate about legislation that works for everyday working people. We talk about what drove her to run for office, and why she chose to primary a sitting Democratic incumbent. We also discuss current legislation, like the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and why she believes Congress is at an impasse in passing some of our most transformative bills.
