Democratic Candidate for U.S. Senate Josh Mahony joined Nathan on the podcast to discuss the urgency around winning another senate seat in a "red state" like Arkansas. If Mahony were to win the Democratic Nomination, he would be taking on U.S. Senator (R) Tom Cotton in the 2020 general election. Mahony lauched his campaign with a digital ad against Cotton titled, "Terrible Tom Cotton" and the attack splices together video and audio clips from his Senate colleagues, the news media, and intermixes editorial audio from Josh himself. On the podcast, Nathan and Josh cover his potential path to victory, what inspired him to run, hot topics like immigration, campaign finance reform, and climate change, and why he believes Arkansas is primed to go blue in 2020. While the majority of the United States is currently focused on the Presidential election, it's important to remember that unless Democrats take back the Senate and hold the House of Representatives, even if we win the White House in 2020, we won't be able to pass the much-needed legislation to accomplish our policy goals.
