    Shadow Politics with Senator Michael D. Brown and Co-host Liberty Jones Vote for Free - With guest, DNC Vice Chair Candidate, Kalyn Free I've known Kalyn Free for more than 15 years. I've worked on political campaigns with her and helped her train candidates to run for public office, many of whom were successful. She's an amazing organizer, fundraiser and political activist. It's obvious that the Democratic Party must change and Kalyn and I will discuss what those changes need to be and how we can effectuate them. Join me and my new co-host Liberty Jones as we discuss the future of the Democratic Party along with Kalyn Free, Vice Chair Candidate. A citizen of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, Kalyn Free’s career spans decades of leadership, advocacy and winning results. Kalyn has had a trailblazing career — she was the youngest attorney ever hired by the U.S. Department of Justice and the first Native American supervising attorney in its history. A red-state champion, Free was the first Native American woman elected District Attorney in Southeastern Oklahoma and delivered justice for the most vulnerable in one of the reddest parts of the country. She is proven strategist. With more than 30 years of campaign experience, Kalyn has helped Democrats win in tribal, rural and urban communities alike. With a unique perspective — from rural Oklahoma to Washington, DC — Kalyn Free has the vision and experience to lead the Democratic National Committee forward.

    Shadow Politics with Senator Michael D. Brown A Seat at the Table - With guest Internationally Acclaimed Spiritual Author and Lecturer, Marianne Williamson On December 26, 2024, Marianne announced her candidacy in the election of the Democratic National Committee Chairperson. She is determined to make a difference in politics in America and within the Democratic Party, in particular. Marianne cares about poverty; international peace; an Economic Bill of Rights — including universal health care, tuition-free college and tech school, and a guaranteed living wage; the establishment of a Department of Peace and the Department of Children and Youth; the declaration of a Climate Emergency to mass mobilize for the development of a green energy grid; and ending America’s Drug War. I will discuss these and other issues with this important voice in today's political dialogue. After more than 25 years' experience with the Democratic National Committee, including working on the campaign to elect Ron Brown Chairman, we will have a lot to talk to about. Tune in and listen to this interesting and provocative discussion where Marianne explains what she's up to now. Marianne Williamson ran for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in 2024 and 2020. In 2014, Williamson ran for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Now she is running to be Chair of the Democratic National Committee. Marianne is a successful entrepreneur, bestselling author, political activist and globally influential spiritual thought leader. For more than three decades, she has been a leader in spiritual and progressive circles and is the author of 15 books — four of which have been #1 New York Times bestsellers. Williamson founded Project Angel Food, a nonprofit organization that has delivered more than 16 million meals to ill and dying homebound patients since 1989. The group was created to help people suffering from the ravages of HIV/AIDS.
