S1.7 Gray Sasser and TJ Ducklo: Nashvillians Who Bring Unique, Insightful Perspectives About Leadership, Democracy and the State of Play in Washington Politics

Climbing the Charts with Angie Lawless and Brandon Miller

Climbing the Charts sits down with Gray Sasser, Executive Director of The Vanderbilt Project on Unity and Democracy, and TJ Ducklo, Chief Communications Officer and Senior Adviser to Nashville Mayor John Cooper and former National Press Secretary for the Biden 2020 Campaign and Deputy Press Secretary to the President.

Listen in as these two gentlemen share why writing well is one of the most important skills any high school student with an interest in politics could possibly learn, why we should all be paying attention to the Vanderbilt Unity Index, why college students are yearning for the next Robert Kennedy, what the 2022 mid-term elections tell us about the state of democracy in America today, and how reality itself is constructed in the age of social media.
