Can Arizona get better results by looking beyond party lines?
In this episode of New Frontiers, John Winchester, a Republican candidate for the Arizona Legislature, joins Paul Johnson to discuss why he’s running, what good government should look like, and the issues he believes Arizona needs to get right.
A major part of that conversation is education. John argues that Arizona should treat education as an investment and take a harder look at the results that investment is producing. Are students leaving school prepared for the workforce? Are they being given enough pathways to succeed? And are schools being held accountable for outcomes? John discusses how Arizona can better prepare students for what comes after high school.
John and Paul also explore civics, America’s founding values, and whether Americans still understand the principles behind the country’s system of government.
The conversation then crosses party lines. John explains why, as a Republican, he sought the support of Independent voters, what he believes Democrats are getting right, and why political disagreement shouldn’t get in the way of working with one another.
Can we disagree and still find a way forward?
Watch the full conversation and decide for yourself.
