Civil Politics (10/14/22): Election Spotlight: Gittelson 2: Election Boogaloo

A first for Civil Politics - We are having a write-in candidate for an office on the air! Yvonne Gittelson was on the show on 8/29/22 during the Primary race. After Patrick Cahillane won the primary she has decided to run as a write-in candidate, and since this is such an interesting turn of events we thought it would be important to speak with her again.

As of this writing, Sheriff Cahillane has not yet responded to our request for a second interview.
