In one of the most impactful episodes of the Inner Circle Podcast to date, we sit down with Erickson Saye — a proud Liberian immigrant and Democratic candidate for Minnesota’s open District 34B seat. From the heart of Brooklyn Park to the steps of the State Capitol, Erickson delivers a powerful message about representation, responsibility, and the urgent need for immigrant communities to engage in the political process.
One of the standout moments came when Erickson challenged the mindset of those who say they “don’t want to mess with politics.” His response? “Politics is already messing with you.” In America, he reminded us, politics shapes everything — housing, education, healthcare, taxes, opportunity. And if we don’t show up, we don’t get a say.
This episode is more than a campaign conversation — it’s a wake-up call to every immigrant, every young person, and every community member sitting on the sidelines. Tune in for a bold, authentic, and inspiring conversation about what’s possible when new voices rise with vision and purpose.
