Description: In Episode #009 of The Culture Codex, we sit down with Ohio State Representative and Secretary of State candidate Allison Russo for a wide-ranging conversation on democracy, power, and the systems shaping Ohio’s political future.Together, we explore Russo’s journey from growing up in rural Mississippi to flipping a Republican district in Ohio, what it means to govern in a supermajority environment, and how politicians can still fight for constituents inside a rigged system. We dig into gerrymandering, redistricting failures, voter suppression tactics, and why trust in elections is being intentionally eroded.This episode also tackles the less-discussed role of the Secretary of State, from protecting voting access and election transparency to supporting small businesses, workers, and civic participation across Ohio.A candid, grounded discussion about leadership, accountability, and what it really takes to defend democracy at the state level.
