Episode Description

In this week's episode, Utah's First Lady Abby Cox is joined by Mayor Jenny Wilson (Salt Lake County) to talk about the state of partisanship in Utah right now, why the division between parties is hurting the state, and how being proximate is essential in bringing us all together. 

Then we dive into the First Lady's Show Up initiatives, the impact that leaders in our communities can have in positively changing the state, Mayor Wilson's path to becoming mayor of Salt Lake County, and some of the reasons why there aren't more women in Utah politics.
