ALL POLITICS IS PERSONAL: Seasons 1-5
The All Politics is Personal video series, inspired by President Joe Biden’s adage that “all politics is personal,” introduced viewers to the person behind the politician by highlighting our elected officials' opportunities and challenges. These conversations drove home the point that we can find commonality, humanity and civility even with people with whom we disagree politically.
Most recently during season 5, we got to know Mayor Dorcey Applyrs of Albany, New York, Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird of Lincoln, Nebraska, and Mayor Lacey Beaty of Beaverton, Oregon.
Hosted by Biden Institute chair Valerie Biden Owens and produced by Biden Institute executive director Cathy McLaughlin.
