So I'm here to push the needle and force conversation amongst the most controversial and informative topics in Society!

Can Anyone Beat Jim Jordan in Ohio's 4th District? Joshua Kolasinski Makes His Case

Jim Jordan has represented Ohio's 4th District since 2006. He hasn't held a public town hall since 2017.

Podcast Host
