Description

Joe Reagan is running for Congress in Colorado’s 5th Congressional District (Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs, Monument, Peyton, Fountain and thereabouts) and Nick happens to work for him, so it was relatively easy to bring him into Studio 809 to talk about running for Congress in Colorado’s 5th Congressional District! They cover policy, Joe’s loss by a mere 500 votes in the 2024 Democratic Primary, and looking ahead to the 2026 election cycle
