This week Tina is back on the podcast with me to discuss political slates. If you are considering running for a school board or city council where there are multiple seats open, then you need to learn about political slates. A slate can help get you elected if done correctly! However, there are some downsides, so you will want to learn everything you can to make the best educated decision for your race.
