Aaron, Kimberly and Doug cover the KY political news of the week, including the Governor dangling weed pardons, the AG warns you against consumer scams, and Doug Price is Right about judicial races (pt. 2). Over in the #CampaignCorner we hang out with Kelly Jones - a candidate from NKY, running for House District 68, as well as Rep. Buddy Wheatley - fighting to hang on to his NKY district 65 after tough redistricting at the hands of the GOP super majority. Finally, we end with an inspiring interview with Kentucky Democratic Party chair Colmon Elridge. It's a humdinger of an episode you DON'T want to miss!
