Mark Vane of Husch Blackwell joined us virtually October 13 to talk about the heavily targeted Texas State House. We also learn about what is coming down the pike next session. Mark then shares what would be his last meal on Earth!

Ali Mock from Government Edge came back on the pod October 13 to give us a lay of the land in this year’s state legislative elections in Ohio. Ali also recaps the shake-up that happened in House leadership earlier this year. Ali also gives us two solid book recommendations!

Amber Barnes, friend of the pod, from McGuireWoods joined on October 14 to talk about things to watch on election night in the Palmetto State, a notable retirement in the legislature, and what issues are likely to be brought up next session. We also see where her sports loyalties lie!

Ted Popely sat down with us virtually on October 22 to go over how the state house came to be under a coalition majority control. We also get a lesson in how the state’s unique Permanent Fund Dividend effects politics and everyday life in Alaska. Ted also shares what he’s been binging recently!
