In this episode, I sat down with independent gubernatorial candidate Lauren Pinkston to discuss her vision for the future of Tennessee. Running outside the traditional two party system, Pinkston shares why she chose the independent path, the challenges of campaigning without party backing, and what she believes Tennesseans truly want from their next governor.

If you’re curious about alternative voices in Tennessee politics and what an independent candidacy could mean for the state, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
