Description

An interview with James Barber of Our Revolution Lane County. Barber was a candidate for the East Lane County Commissioner position. He is a progressive Democrat who believes in raising the minimum wage to suit the growing cost of living, Medicare for ALL, and getting money out of politics. During his run for County Commissioner he found himself in hot water as some questionable tweets from his past surfaced and he was in a position far too many in the public eye find themselves these days. Having to defend the character of a much younger individual self. He showed that he has grown tremendously and has evolved as a human being and father. At the debate at which he addressed the issue the response to his heartfelt apology was as animated and supportive of any other topic discussed in the debate as a whole. Lane County residents, like all Americans, love a redemption story.
