Rebalancing The Scales w/ Democratic Congressional Candidate Dr. Bob Lorinser
Episode 127, May 23, 02:31 PM
Here's episode 87 of Michigan's premier progressive podcast!
Dr. Bob Lorinser is running to become the Democratic candidate for Michigan's 1st congressional district, comprising of northern Michigan, and the entire U.P. He is trying to challenge Republican Congressman Jack Bergman for the second straight time after losing to Bergman in '22. But Dr. Lorinser believes this time around, he won't only challenge Bergman, but he believes he'll win thanks to the experiences of his previous run and also due to name recognition. Dr. Lorinser explains how he'll be a true representative for the district because not only does he want to improve the lives of people, but he actually LIVES in the district, unlike Bergman. He also talks about how he'll fight to rebalance the scales once he arrives in Washington D.C., by focusing on expanded health care access, education, and a living wage.
Pat celebrates Democrat Kelli van Ginhoven finally getting to take the seat she won in the recall races for the Delta County Commission. And he also takes a look at Republican Congressman Jack Bergman's extreme right-wing agenda, and how he's there to only serve the rich corporate donor base, and the radical Christian Nationalist movement inside the Republican Party.
The "Last Call" implores Democrats to be on the right side of history when it comes the atrocities happening in Gaza. Right-wing Republicans are aligning themselves with Israel's right-wing government. Democrats are making a costly error if they continue to align with the Netanyahu government, and we're seeing some Michigan congressional Democrats are facing primary challenges due to this disastrous stance.
