On this week’s podcast, host Tim Boyum talks with 9th congressional district candidate Shelane Etchison.
She’s becoming the first unaffiliated congressional candidate to ever appear on a ballot in North Carolina, but making history is not new to her.
She was also among the first women to serve in combat in the Army and earn two master’s degrees from Harvard before coming back to her home state of North Carolina. This week on Tying it Together, she discusses those stories and the reasons behind her decision to not align with any political side.
