As season two of “Swamp Stories” comes to a close, so does Weston’s time as host of the show.
After nearly 50 episodes that cover a wide range of national democracy reform topics, Weston has turned his sights back home to Tennessee. He was recently sworn in as the mayor of Hamilton County, the state’s fourth largest county.
For Weston’s final episode, he sat down with Issue One’s Chief of Strategy and Program Ethan Rome to reflect on what led him to the political reform space, what it’s been like being a Republican who works on these issues, and the moment we’re living through as a country.
The search is currently underway for a new “Swamp Stories” host.
