In this episode, Rep. Boggs (Twitter) outlines her stance on obtuse gerrymandering in Ohio—leading to larger issues for public health and democracy such as a women’s right to choose, racism as a public health crisis, criminal justice reform, and policing. Rep. Boggs explains the connections between public safety and public health. With a focus on protecting Ohioans, Boggs calls for readjusting police responses to include the proper licensed personnel for calls ranging from mental health breakdowns to domestic violence/dispute. Dan and Rep. Boggs also discuss an issue about which Rep. Boggs has been particularly passionate: domestic violence and child abuse, both before and during COVID-19.
