À propos de ce contenu audio
What does it mean to meet the moment when you’re outnumbered?In this episode of Great Ships, Taylor sits down with South Carolina State Representative Heather Bauer — the only Democrat to flip a State House seat in 2022 — for a candid conversation about opposition politics, persistence, and the long game of building power in a supermajority state.Heather reflects on her journey from a working-class childhood shaped by public support to losing early races, running again, and ultimately winning. She offers an inside look at the realities of serving in the minority: navigating pressure within the legislature, pushing her own party to show more fight, and using every available tool to slow harmful legislation and move good ideas forward.Together, they explore why competing everywhere matters — even in districts where victory isn’t guaranteed — how public engagement strengthens elected leaders’ ability to act, and what initiatives like The Comeback are trying to shift across South Carolina’s political landscape.At its core, this conversation is about courage: the courage to run, to dissent, to stay present, and to believe that democracy works best when more people step forward to participate.
