We talk with LaKesha Womack, Democratic nominee for North Carolina’s 14th Congressional District. She shares her journey from rural Alabama to public service, discussing her grassroots approach to campaigning, the importance of listening to communities, and why she believes complex challenges require thoughtful, long-term solutions rather than political sound bites. The conversation explores economic opportunity, healthcare, and small business development.
