On Tuesday, February 20th, I had the honor of interviewing Congressman Joe Kennedy III. He is the son of the late Joe Kennedy, Jr. Over these 17 minutes, we discuss some very important topics including gun violence, his congressional role, his State of The Union Formal Response, and his uncle, Chris Kennedy running for governor. Below I have taken the time to list all of the questions in the show notes below, enjoy!
