Doing the Local Work with Rosemary Ketchum
We're sharing an episode of our Pantsuit Politics Premium show, More to Say, that we released to our Premium subscribers today. To support the show and get access to content like this multiple times each week, subscribe to our Premium content on our Patreon page or Apple Podcasts Subscriptions.
We're delighted to welcome Rosemary Ketchum back to Pantsuit Politics. Rosemary joined us in June 2020 when she became the first out transgender public servant in West Virginia's history. Since then, Rosemary has done awesome work in her community and we wanted to invite her back for an update as part of an upcoming Pride Month series we're working on.
When we reached out, we discovered Rosemary is running in an election happening TODAY in hopes of being elected as Wheeling's next mayor. We couldn't let her election day go by without sharing this energizing and encouraging conversation with you. As you'll hear, Rosemary is so smart and charismatic. We're wishing her the absolute best in her election today.
If you're in Wheeling, make sure you get out and cast your vote for Rosemary today!

CORRECTION: The Pell Grant does not run out. There are lifetime limits per student on the Pell Grant and basically every other grant that exists is first-come, first-served, but not Pell. Pell is always available. We are in the process of omitting this statement from the episode and will also correct it on Friday's episode.

Customer Reviews
Please don’t interview your children on pod
I love the show but please don’t put your children on the pod. They are not yet as articulate or as compelling as the standards you have set for this show.
Not worth listening any more
I used to really enjoy this show and the different perspectives Beth and Sarah brought. Over the last year it feels like they are having to many “ clutching their pearls” moments and are speaking from a position of fear, especially when it comes to the younger generations. Ideally so t enjoy their commentary any more and feel like they no longer keep me informed. Now it feels like they are just trying to make others afraid like they are.
