In our 72nd episode, we chat with Silver Lake resident and Neighborhood Council Representative, Maebe A. Girl (pronouns: she/they). Maebe and I discuss her candidacy for the 28th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, challenging incumbent Adam Schiff, who has held the office since 2001. We also discuss Maebe’s status as the first drag queen elected to public office, as well as how Schiff’s office has failed to address the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles over the course of two decades. A galvanizing conversation for residents throughout Hollywood, Echo Park, Glendale, and more. To learn more about Maebe’s campaign or get involved, visit maebeagirlforcongress.com.
