My guest on this episode is Andrew McCarty of Hastings, Nebraska. Andrew uses he/him pronouns. He grew up in Grand Island and has spent all but 7 years of his life in central Nebraska. Andrew is a registered nurse and a small business owner. He is passionate about public health, education, and civic engagement.
Andrew and I talked for nearly two hours about being a progressive in conservative spaces. He’s an awesome conversationalist and is just whip-smart. I hope you enjoy episode 5 of Left in the Middle.
