ICYMI 🔊: We had a truly insightful interview with Pennsylvania Representative Morgan Cephas, where we explored the state budget and its significant impact on Pennsylvanians, delved into important maternal health initiatives, and discussed the evolving narrative surrounding the three open Supreme Court Judge seats.

There was even that intriguing moment when James directly asked Representative Cephas about her potential run for Dwight Evans' congressional seat in 2027, and her answer was quite remarkable, especially with Senator Sharif Street and Representative Chris Rabb already having announced their candidacies for that very position.
