Kerry McQuisten talks defying COVID mandates and ”back to basics” for Oregon | EP 33

Kerry McQuisten is the Mayor of Baker City and running as a Republican for Governor. She's a 7th generation Oregonian and has done everything from serving in public office to running a successful publishing company. McQuisten made national headlines for declaring Baker a "common sense sanctuary" from Governor Brown's COVID-19 measures and hopes to use the popularity of her policies with the conservative grassroots to ride through the Republican primary and into the governor's mansion. We talk about everything from COVID-19 mandates to homelessness to urban-rural divide and Critical Race Theory. Ben and McQuisten also do a little left vs. right philosophy when it comes to key policy differences so prepare for some nerdiness.
