Elly Howse (Class of 2005) has had a passion for politics for as long as I have known her. She has worked in a variety of government agencies and has had significant leadership roles throughout her short career. For many people (myself included) politics can be confusing and frustrating. I hope that this discussion might help you to look at it in a different way.<\/p>\n<p>And a reminder that we are published on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other popular platforms so you can access it easier from your preferred device.
