Shasti Conrad is the Chair of the Washington State Democratic Party AND the newest DNC vice chair. She’s really doing it all. I could talk with her for hours, but we jammed as much into this interview as possible.
This was filmed hours before the government shut down, but hey, we’re still in the shutdown and literally nothing has changed so nothing is actually out of date.
If you want to know why Washington went more blue when every other state trended red in November, or what the hell happened with the DNC election, you are in the right place.
Hopefully this will end the argument that the DNC decided to kick out a progressive.
