Treney Tweedy is the Mayor of Lynchburg, VA. It was so much fun to talk to such an important person to the fabric of city. We discussed her rise to becoming the first African-American female in that role in the 230 plus history of the city, local vs. national politics, 2020 election, her vision as the Mayor and more.
As always happy listening!
