Saying Dumb Things Out Loud! (with Matt Fulmer and Brady Quirk-Garvan)

This week, we interview two people working hard to make a difference in South Carolina. First up is Congressional Candidate Matt Fulmer who is looking to take over the seat being vacated by Nancy Mace. We then speak with political strategist Brady Quirk-Garvan, one of the members behind The Comeback SC, a group striving to ensure that every House seat in South Carolina has a Democratic challenger.
