The Stakes hiatus is over! Tara and Michelle were back this week with a jam-packed episode of The Stakes. From the recent school shootings, Pam Bondi’s threats to free speech, doxxing democrats, and the public fallout after the death of Charlie Kirk, there was so much to discuss.  The highlight? Our friend Gay Valimont joined us!  Gay is a former Florida congressional candidate and longtime gun violence prevention leader.  Her personal journey—including caring for her late husband and son—drives her passion for humane, community-focused politics. Through her newly founded Political Action Committee, Engage, Y’all!, Gay is providing funding, training, tools, and boots-on-the-ground support for people ready to run for office in overlooked communities across the South.  We talked about all of this and more on this week’s episode.
