Senator Jim Carlson and Access to Democracy host Steve Francisco discuss the accomplishments of last year’s legislative session and look ahead to the 2024 session of the Legislature.
As Chair of the Senate Elections Committee, Senator Carlson offers insights about the integrity of our election process and addresses some of the threats to our democracy, from election denial to personal threats directed at elected officials. Sen. Carlson reminds us that democracy cannot survive in an environment of threats and intimidation.
