WE ALL HAVE TO VOTE. After the first presidential debate, I was overwhelmed to say the least. I really wanted to talk with an expert about questions I had about where we are in politics and the election. Political strategist, Emily Tisch Sussman, and I discuss feelings after the debate, political anxiety, voting by mail, women’s rights, her hope in politics, the importance of holding your representatives accountable post election and so much more.  Emily has been at the forefront of executing strategy for the progressive movement in America for more than a decade. She is a leading democratic political strategist with over 200 appearances on MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, HLN, and CBS, and nearly 100 in the past year. Her views are also frequently featured in national news outlets including The New York Times, Newsweek, Reuters, and Politico. Emily is the host of popular politics podcast Your Presidential Playlist, formerly Your Primary Playlist, a guide to the 2020 presidential election that quickly became a must-listen for those tapped into politics. The podcast features all women guests including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams, and Cecile Richards, has received several features on Apple Podcasts and Stitcher, and was named one of Refinery29’s Best New Podcasts for 2020. She is also a member of the New York Bar, earning her J.D. from Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.  Go to Vote.org for more information one how to vote.
