Kicking Off Early Voting with Nashville-Born Political Strategist TJ Ducklo

It’s the first day of early voting, and we’re sitting down with Nashville-born political operative TJ Ducklo to get the insider’s look at this summer’s Biden-Harris/Harris-Walz campaign rollercoaster, and find out why he thinks their platform is the right choice for Middle Tennessee voters. We’re also asking why his new role as Chief Strategist for the Democracy Defenders Political Action Committee is necessary, what if any regrets he has about the scandal that led to him leaving the Biden White House to join Mayor John Cooper’s administration, and what advice he would give to kids or young adults growing up in Nashville who are interested in working in politics.

And stick around for our special segment, A Mile in Their Boots: We’ll be going inside a day in the life of Brandon Crofton, a pothole patch specialist for NDOT. Thanks to Tecovas, our Western wear faves, for sponsoring this segment, and for being our exclusive launch sponsor!
