On today’s show, we continue our look into the congressional candidates who want to represent you in the federal government leading up to Nebraska’s primary on May 12. Last week, Tom spoke with Representative Don Bacon. This week, he has a conversation with congressional candidate Ann Ashford, who is running against Bacon for Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District.

Ashford speaks about her feeling that, after growing up as a Republican, the party left her, so she left the party and became a Democrat who prioritizes individual views over forced consensus.

This is the second episode of Riverside Chats produced in conjunction with KIOS and has been edited from a July 2019 conversation.
