TCRP - Episode 82 - Unexpected Small Town Politics with Steve Fioravanti

We were one of the many families, in the United States, that moved from larger cities into small town rural areas due to the pandemic. Politics in those larger cities definitely played a role. We thought that politics in small towns would be more in our favor, especially in areas with strong Christian values. What we learned was that there was still a major divide even in a small community. But that divide was more focused around people who were born and raised in the area vs people that transplanted into the area. We discuss that divide with our guest, Steve Fioravanti. Steve ran for County Commissioner in our area and although he won the Republican Primary in the Spring of 2022, he lost to the Primary-losing incumbent Commissioner, who ran as an independent write-in candidate and squeaked out a win in the November election. It was an interesting race leading up to the election and an unexpected election experience for a lot of people in the community, including us.

Steve Fioravanti's Bio: Steve is the Leader of the area chapter of the John Birch Society, Republican Candidate for County Commissioner, member of corporate America for over 30 years and a husband and proud father of 4 grown children.
