WWNO previews an interview with Louisiana congressional candidate Lauren Jewett about her campaigns, political views and platform as she challenges incumbent Steve Scalise. The episode also previews a New Orleans music event inspired by Confederate monument removals.
The program describes Jewett as a special education teacher, union member and DSA-backed Democrat seeking to unseat Republican incumbent Steve Scalise in Louisiana’s 1st Congressional District. The preview says she joins the show to discuss lessons from earlier campaigns, her political views, her platform and what she would bring to Congress.
A separate segment previews an Oct. 10 New Orleans music event about how music and collective action can inspire healing, presented by the Shockoe Institute and Jazz Generations Initiative New Orleans. Artist and Shockoe Institute artistic director Leyla McCalla is scheduled to discuss the event.
