First Sarah Montalbano of the Alaska Policy Forum joins us to talk about the implementation of ranked choice voting in Alaska.

Plus Sarah talks about the attempted comeback of Sarah Palin, the enigma of Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and the surprising results for non-partisan candidates in the new system.Then, Cooper Conway returns to Heard Tell to talk through some of the headlines, narratives, and debates surrounding education such as religious private schools, school choice, and education funding. Cooper and host Andrew Donaldson talk about how COVID school lockdowns forever changed the perseption of parents and student to the school system, how teachers are treated and perceived, and how the government really feels about the education system. Also, Cooper delves into the politics and policy of the modern American education system.All that and more on this Friday edition of Heard Tell.
