In today's episode, Annika interviews Thurgood Brooks. You have probably heard his name if you pay any attention to Rock Island politics and leadership. Annika and Thurgood discuss the generations that came to Rock Island before him, how faith, athletics, and politics shaped his upbringing, how he sets out, not to "help" people in Rock Island, but to set up systems and make connections that create an environment where residents can help themselves, and his plans to continue serving Rock Island County in the best way he can.
