"If You're not Leading the Conversation, Someone Else is": On the NYC Budget, politician mistrust & seeing yourself reflected in government | Political Determinants of Health Pt 2

Happy Monday y'all! Im happy to bring you a new episode of Candidly, Caitlyn!

I am so excited to continue my "Political Determinants of Health" series here on my podcast & for this episode with Carmen de la Rosa.  She is the Council Member-Elect for District 10 in NYC. She grew up here in NYC after immigrating from The Dominican Republic as a baby and currently serves as the NYS Assemblywoman for the 72nd district. We spoke about her background and reasons for going into politics, politician mistrust, co-governance, the pandemic & more!
While this episode was just an introduction to Carmen, her background & campaign goals, I look forward to having her on my podcast again in the future to talk more in depth about the issues faced in this country & in NYC specifically.

I’m so excited to share this episode with you all, and make sure to drop a review or comment to let me know what you think when you finish. I’ll be featuring my guests on my podcast as the series continues, so I hope you’re excited to listen!
