Listen "Getting to Know Zachary Parker"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Hearing the Council, we get to know Ward 5's Zachary Parker. We appreciate him taking time out of his first three weeks in office to sit for an interview!
We:
- Learned how his brothers' economic and health struggles inform his perspective on policy
- Discussed just how often people accidentally swap out his name with perennial bottom-ten ranked president Zachary Taylor
- Followed his life and career path from Chicago to New Orleans, onto New York, then here to DC
- Ran down the list of other past and present DC councilmembers who, like him, spent time on the Board of Education before joining the Council
- Plus, as always, dessert rankings!
