Making the Political Case for Nature with State Representative Spencer Wetmore

On this episode, we have the pleasure of being joined by Spencer Wetmore, South Carolina State Representative for District 115. As Spencer describes what it is like to work in state government - the challenges, successes, collaboration, and sometimes even fun! - she makes the political case for raising awareness for the environment and protecting nature. Through her personal experiences and stories, Spencer explains the need for effective local government, the value of authentic community messengers, and the impact that regular citizens can have when they step up to advocate for themselves and their communities.
