In this episode, former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and former Philly Mayor Michael Nutter, along with Citizen Co-founder Larry Platt, bring Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti onto the show.
Cognetti is demonstrating how cities are blazing a way forward amidst the daily chaos spilling out of Washington, D.C.
“This is where local matters,” Cognetti says. “At the local level, we’re nimble, we’re able to try things that are harder at the state level, and definitely at the national level.”
“I think you’re modeling a new way,” says Platt. “You’re in that mold of the efficient governing wing of the Democratic Party.”
Join us for this episode about “green shoots of encouragement” coming right from Scranton, PA. Remember to subscribe to the podcast to keep up on all the latest episodes. You can even watch the conversation play out on YouTube.
As cities go, so goes the nation!
