For the third installment of KHOL’s election season One Small Step initiative, we paired town council candidate Kevin Regan with professional mountain guide Jessica Baker. Baker is a professional mountain guide and an over two-decade-long Jackson resident raising two daughters. Regan moved to Jackson two years ago to work as an environmental lawyer and is running for one of two open seats on the Town Council. They talk about the housing crisis and what Regan proposes to do to address development.
Listen above for a snippet from their recent conversation. You can hear the full conversation on the StoryCorps website. Conversations are also archived at the Library of Congress.
One Small Step brings people with different beliefs into the recording studio to talk and discover their common ground. This fall we’re pairing candidates running for local office with the constituents they aim to represent. These conversations cover the who and the why behind our political and religious beliefs and, in just an hour, seek to find some common ground. These conversations are happening now through the end of October. If you would like to have a One Small Step conversation with a candidate running for town or county office, learn more here.
