Sarah E. Hunt (CEO & President, the Joseph Rainey Center for Public Policy) joins Light Beer Dark Money for a wide-ranging conversation on what’s driving American politics right now: election integrity, leadership pipelines, and the energy buildout needed to win the AI arms race.
We dig into Rainey Center’s mission to equip the next generation of conservative leaders—from state legislatures to Congress—plus their latest polling (including 77% support for voter ID), why “electrons aren’t woke,” and what data centers and grid capacity mean for affordability and national security. We also get into the SAVE Act/filibuster debate, voter roll accuracy, and why messaging + execution matter as much as policy.
