Let’s Go Behind the Ballot

About the Show

Go Behind the Ballot is a podcast that asks questions and seeks answers about our political system. We engage with issue experts, political candidates and officeholders. We walk alongside our listeners who ask questions like….

  • Why does our government run this way?
  • What can regular folks do to have their voice heard?
  • What do our politicians do anyway?
  • How do taxes work?
  • Who decides what happens in our schools?

Co-hosts Claire Campos-O’Neal and Nichole Abshire, two Texan moms who are tired of sitting on the sidelines, invite experts and former candidates on the show to take listeners on an educational journey.
