Intro

Lauren Harper Pope is the co-founder of WelcomePAC, an advocacy organization to help elect centrist Democrats in swing districts. Beyond helping to raise political funds in that regard, she is known for her political commentary, including Substack writing and hosting the podcast The Depolarizers.

In this episode, I got a chance to talk with her about the most productive Democratic candidates to fund, the nature of political polarization, and the importance of reaching out to politically disengaged voters.
