Bonus: The Full Interview with Mayor Annise Parker (Ep. 2: The Candidate Perspective)

The full, raw interview with Annise Parker, current CEO of the LGBTQ Victory Fund and Institute, and former Mayor, Controller, and Member of the City Council of Houston, Texas. Hear her thoughts on how to survive campaign life, how to separate work and personal life in politics, and how to deal with conflict on the campaign trail. Listen to her stories of what it was like campaigning during the holidays, the challenge of adopting kids in the height of election season, and how she won, lost, then re-won the support of the Baptist Ministers of Houston. Learn why she believes that even her worst day in public life was more fulfilling than 20 years in the private sector and why you shouldn’t discount your chances at winning an office even if you don’t look like a stereotypical candidate.
