Jess Phoenix is one of seven Democratic candidates hoping to unseat (R) Steve Knight in November. The 35-year-old queer volcanologist believes that her scientific background makes her the perfect challenger to climate science denier Steve Knight, who received a 0% rating from the League of Conservation Voters. Jess joined us on the podcast to discuss environmental issues, how being married to the son of a formerly undocumented immigrant affects her views on immigration, and why it's important for queer millennials to run for office.
