Show Notes

Sen. Luz Escamilla (D) and Sen. John Johnson (R) discuss how they navigate ideological differences to find common ground, even from across the aisle.

“I would say it’s about building relationships that keep us in this respectful, civil way of dealing with issues that are difficult and hard,” said Sen. Escamilla.

Sen. Johnson added, “I think at the end of the day, we can see needs, and make sure that we take care of those among us. I think that’s something we share.”

Join Roots, Race & Culture to see how productive discourse is possible despite deep political divides. By prioritizing relationships over politics, can Americans encourage dialogue, not division?
