Before we start, I have a special ask of all my listeners. Please like the Facebook Page Politics Done Right here, and follow @EgbertoWillies on Twitter here, and subscribe to our newsletter here.
Our special guest today is former MSNBC contributor and former co-host of The Cycle Krystal Ball.
Krystal Ball is a University of Virginia graduate with a bachelor’s degree in economics. She is a certified public accountant and an entrepreneur. In 2010 she ran for Congress in Virginia’s 1st Congressional District. While her run was unsuccessful, she was named by Forbes Magazine as number 21 on the magazine’s “The Top Most Powerful Women of the Midterm Elections.” She put on a valiant effort in a race stacked against her. Krystal Ball assisted the recovery efforts after Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana. She led a boycott against Rush Limbaugh for his attack on Sandra Fluke.
Krystal is the author of the book “Reversing the Apocalypse: Hijacking the Democratic Party to Save the World,” a must-read for every Progressive. The book challenges Democrats to resettled their roots to FDR’s New Deal and advocates a more interventionist economic agenda. She is the founder of People’s House Project. The People’s House Project will incubate and accelerate candidates in every Republican-held congressional district in our targeted region of Midwestern and Appalachian states.
