Episode Synopsis

In this post-election edition of the SEANC View podcast, Communications Director Jonathan Owens, Executive Director Ardis Watkins, Government Relations Director Suzanne Beasley, and Digital Communications Specialist Sam Cline are joined by EMPAC Statewide Chairman Mark Dearmon to share insights following a historic election night.
With a remarkable 94% success rate for EMPAC-endorsed candidates, the panel delves into the dynamics behind this achievement and the role of nonpartisan endorsements. They explore the unexpected hunger for neutrality among voters, particularly students, and discuss the impact of distributing 10,000 palm cards.
The conversation shifts to the outcomes of key races, including the gubernatorial victory of Josh Stein and the intriguing dynamics of the presidential race. The team reflects on the implications of a legislature without a supermajority and what it means for policy-making in the state.
