This is a touch time to be a politician. Michigan Congressman, Jim Ellison, talks about the politics of getting along in Episode 59 of the Talk To Me podcast.
Politics are fascinating. There's gridlock, infighting, power struggles and misrepresentation--and that's just the fun stuff.
Meet Jim Ellison, State Representative in the 26th House District in the State of #Michigan. He was Mayor of Royal Oak from 2003 to 2016.
