Real Representation — Or Just Talk? A Campaign Interview Without the Script
Description
Voters say they want real representation — but trust in Congress keeps falling.
In this episode of The Middle Ground Mic, host Joseph Steagall sits down with Eric France, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Congress in Illinois’s 2nd District, for an unscripted campaign interview focused on grassroots politics, people-powered leadership, and restoring trust in government.
This conversation goes beyond party labels to explore affordable housing, public safety, economic opportunity, and what real accountability should look like after the election — not just during a campaign.
Is real representation still possible? Or is it just talk?
