In a world of digital feeds, algorithms and an overwhelming amount of information, sometimes the most effective way to reach voters is also the simplest: having a conversation. In this episode Tom and Gina explore what it takes to connect with communities across Arizona.

This episode also gets into how answering a call from educators led to Clean Elections creating a civics comic book series. Listen to why it has been hugely successful and hear how it resulted in the development of a new undeniably memorable Arizona icon: a 6-foot walkaround mascot.

September is also when there are simultaneous voter registration drives across the U.S. as part of National Voter Registration Day, September 15. Learn what Clean Elections has planned to mark this important day. 

Plus, this episode touches on civil discourse and if lessening the political divide starts with simply learning how to talk about elections and politics, even revealing the ingredients for more productive conversations with people who have opposing views.
