  • Resumen

  • The official podcast of Shift Washington (https://shiftwa.org/) Shift seeks to shift the political debate in Washington State. Compared to our West Coast neighbors, we’re a politically balanced place – but left-wing silliness still abounds. We keep a sharp eye on what’s happening in Olympia and local governments around the state. When they try to pull something stupid, Shift calls them on it. We exist to inform, cajole, and uncover, all with a dose of fun. Opinions expressed are those of the hosts and not necessarily those of Shift Washington.

We ask Jacquelin why she wants to join such a dysfunctional body and how Congress can get back to doing it's job. We touch on national debt and entitlement reform as well as the border and fentanyl crisis. Jacquelin describes what the GOP should stand for and what conservatism means to her before she helps us nerd-out on everyone's least favorite cabotage law: The Jones Act.

    David Olson joins the podcast to discuss his candidacy to lead the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. We learn what exactly the OSPI does, what "putting kids & parents first" means, and the implications of I-2081. We discuss how the OSPI should address learning loss and the growing trend of restricting cell phones and social media in schools and how David was at the forefront of this effort. We hear about the problematic rise of anti-Semitism in schools and how we can expand opportunities for apprenticeships to train the skilled workers of the future.
