Welcome back to Illogical by TRUTH, the show where we dive into the stories and efforts that shape our communities. I'm your host Terrance Ruth, and in today's episode, we have a truly inspiring conversation that spotlights the remarkable women who are making waves in the city of Raleigh, North Carolina. We're joined by a group of dedicated council members who are collaborating to bring positive change and progress to their beloved city.

Our guests today are a dynamic group of women aka The New Guard, who have taken up leadership roles in the city council of Raleigh, NC. Each of them brings a unique perspective and a shared commitment to enhancing the quality of life for their fellow citizens. We're excited to welcome Council members Christina, Megan, Jane, and Mary who are here to share their stories, insights, and the incredible work they're doing.

We cover questions regarding:

  • How should we understand the role of local government?
  • What is the difference between a council member, a city manager, and a mayor?
  • What are some of the responsibilities of local government officials?
  • How does local government impact our daily lives?

It's been a privilege to have these trailblazing women on the show today. Their dedication, resilience, and collaborative spirit remind us that together, we can create cities that are not just better, but the best they can be.
