In this week's episode of An
Honorable Profession, NewDEAL CEO and host Debbie Cox Bultan talks
with Arkansas State Senator Clarke Tucker about his state's
political shift to the right and away from prominent Democratic
personalities, such as President Bill Clinton. They identify
lessons learned as Democratic majorities slipped away quickly due
to a lack of listening and impactful community investments. Tucker
also shares insights into how the Democratic Party must shift its
rural strategy with community investments to help improve people's
day-to-day lives and better communication to highlight these wins.
They also discuss inspiring stories of bipartisanship and how doing
the little things to build relationships with his Republican
colleagues helped advance his election protection bill last
session.
Stay tuned to the end to hear about a documentary of Clarke's run
for Congress, how his sister filmed it, and how the film gave folks
a glimpse into the commitment families make in public
life.
