Moderated a great political panel tonight with @mlahammer, @ProfKPearson and @bloisolson. It was a wide-ranging, lively conversation that challenged some oft repeated election narratives. Thanks to Mill City Commons for having us.

I love that my Poli Sci professor friend @ProfKPearson was in Nashville for an academic conference but made time to conduct an entire photo shoot of Romantic Comedy inside the Draper James flagship store (where it does indeed look rather pretty) 😍🥳
