  Jun 30, 20261h 32mS2

  Can a Working-Class Candidate Beat Washington Politics | Ashtyn Kennedy for Congress In this episode of Raised Red, Living Blue, we sit down with Ashtyn Kennedy, Democratic candidate for Alabama's 6th Congressional District, for one of our most wide-ranging conversations yet. Born and raised in Montgomery, Ashtyn isn't a career politician. She's worked multiple jobs, coached students, taught in classrooms, struggled to afford rent while working full-time, and experienced firsthand the financial pressures facing millions of Americans today. That lived experience ultimately led her to run for Congress. Together, we discuss the growing affordability crisis, corporate consolidation, healthcare, housing, workers' rights, education, Project 2025, reproductive freedom, campaign finance, and what it means to challenge entrenched political power in Alabama. Throughout the conversation, Ashtyn argues that government should work for ordinary people—not corporations, monopolies, or billionaires. 🎯 Topics include:— Why full-time work no longer guarantees financial stability— Corporate monopolies, private equity, and the rising cost of living— Universal healthcare and Medicaid expansion— Reproductive freedom and government overreach— Maternity and paternity leave, childcare, and supporting working families— Campaign finance, grassroots organizing, and challenging the political establishment— Why Ashtyn decided to run against Gary Palmer for Alabama's 6th Congressional District Whether you agree or disagree, this episode offers an honest look at the ideas, experiences, and motivations of a new generation of political candidates—and a conversation about the future of Alabama and the country. 🎧 Listen +.
