Real People, Election Reality

November 5, 2023 · 01:06:40

We spoke with two of our neighbors--long-time residents who care deeply about the City but who are not part of the political machinery that operates behind the scenes. We use campaign literature to frame a conversation about what works with voters, and how this election is a little different than previous, especially when it comes to outside interests funding mailers.

Where we've eaten lately:
Ema Rossi on Norbeck
Villa Maya, also on Norbeck
Hello Vietnam! on Viers Mill in Twinbrook
Mimi's Handmade Ice Cream in Federal Plaza

Creators and Guests

Host

Jaime Espinosa

Jaime moved to Rockville in 2013 after separating from Active Duty; he is still an Air Force reservist. He is an attorney and in his civilian career he works for the federal government, with his office located right in Rockville. He lives with his wife and daughter in Twinbrook. When not shuttling his daughter from softball practice, to karate class, or to a swim lesson, you can likely find him at one of the local pickleball courts in the area, as he is an avid (yet surprisingly still mediocre) player.

Host

Suzan Pitman

Suzan is in her "second act" as a non-profit director after a career in the Texas public school system (she might never recover). Suzan and her husband, David, and their son, Matthew, moved to Rockville from New Braunfels, Texas in 2013 and have made East Rockville their forever home.
