The McKinney Podcast

This episode is going to be both loved and hated. Glad to spend some time with Evan Hunt, Democratic candidate for US Congressional District 3 that represents all of McKinney.

Evan unpacks his story, why he’s running and the major points of his platform. Regardless of your political beliefs, there’s plenty of meat on this bone.

Amazing time last night with all of the City Council candidates! Thank you to all who attended.

This was the first event hosted by MCKPOD and it won’t be our last. It’s an honor and a privilege to be able to participate in a small way with the engine of local governance.

This week’s episode is live with Congressman Keith Self. Keith is possibly the most accomplished guest we’ve had on the podcast, having served for 25 years in the US Army, County Judge of Collin County for 12 years and now as our Representative to Congress from TX Congressional District 3.

Keith is running for re-election to Congress. We previous had his democratic opponent, Sandeep Srivavastava, on the show.
