You Should Run - Ismail Smith Wade El

Even at his relatively young age, Ismail Smith-Wade-El had years of experience working on poverty issues and community development in and around Lancaster, PA before running for city council in 2017. Since running, and winning, that election, Ismail has seen how local government can make a direct difference in people's lives, why representation matters on all levels, and how local issues can have a bigger impact than anyone may first realize.

In this podcast, Ismail Smith-Wade-El breaks down preconceived notions of Lancaster, talks about changes in local government, how young people can change communities and, of course, why YOU should consider running for office.
