Rep-Elect Brittany Pettersen Gets More Smarter

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, Congresswoman-elect Brittany Pettersen joins her husband and podcast host Ian Silverii (and Jason Bane) to talk about traveling to Washington D.C. for a whirlwind week of orientation for newly-elected members of Congress. We'll take you behind the scenes for a look at everything involved in starting a new job at the United States Capitol.

Later, we discuss another mass shooting in Colorado -- this time at "Club Q" in Colorado Springs -- and how lawmakers need to do more to ensure that local elected officials aren't ignoring tools that are intended to prevent such a tragedy. We'll also talk about Rep. Lauren Boebert's narrow re-election in CO-03; leadership elections at the State Capitol; and Donald Trump's very sad announcement of another Presidential campaign. 

Happy Thanksgiving! We're particularly grateful for all of our listeners.
