Town Councilor and mayoral candidate Arne Jorgensen and resident Brian Bultema met for the first time for a One Small Step conversation. Jorgensen (age 60) has served on the Town Council for six years and is running for mayor in the middle of his second term. Jorgensen is also an architect, a founding board member of the Jackson Hole Community Housing Trust, and a married father of an adult daughter. Bultema (age 38) became a father a little over a year ago. He works as an administrator for the Presbyterian Church of Jackson Hole. Bultema and his wife share their time between Jackson Hole and her hometown of Lima, Peru.
This conversation was recorded for KHOL’s One Small Step Program – a StoryCorps initiative that brings people with different beliefs into the recording studio to talk and discover their common ground. For election season, KHOL paired 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.
Listen above to an excerpt of their conversation in KHOL’s podcast “Jackson Unpacked” or hear their full conversation here.
Conversations will be archived at the Library of Congress.
