In this episode, I sit down with Jesse Vogel, a passionate advocate for housing rights and a current candidate for Columbus City Council, here in Columbus Ohio. Jesse shares his journey from studying law at Ohio State to organizing housing initiatives during the pandemic, and now running a grassroots campaign focused on housing stability, community connection, and meaningful change. He dives into what it's like knocking on thousands of doors, building trust with voters, and why protecting tenants' rights is so crucial for Columbus’ future. Jesse also reflects on where his drive for community work began and the personal stories that fuel his mission today. If you're curious about how someone gets started in local politics, community activism, or just love hearing from people working hard to make a difference, this is an episode you don't want to miss!
