What It's Really Like to Run for Office ft. Girmay Zahilay
When Girmay Zahilay first told me about his plan to run for office in Seattle, I really wanted to know his “why”. I quickly learned that Girmay’s motives were deeply rooted in wanting to improve the lives of people in his community because he grew up in less than ideal circumstances in Seattle. Girmay hopes to promote equity, increase innovation, and increase political access for all as a Council member in King County.
This episode is for you if you are curious about:
How to get more young, smart people of color into policy making roles
How to be civically engaged without running for office
