Episode notes
Representative Heather Bauer shares her story about how a high school guidance counselor/ volleyball coach turned her life around by opening the door for her going to college. Now in her third year in the SC House where she is in the minority party, she believes that bipartisanship is important for being successful on legislation. However, Rep. Bauer also believes that the House Democratic Caucus should be doing a better job standing up for a legislative agenda that the public agrees with. “There is no fight…we’re not focused on the right issues”, she says and suggests that this issue could be discussed by the House democrats come January. Rep. Bauer also has a strong opinion of the House not taking action on the State Treasurer who the Senate voted to remove. She also talks about her marial arts background and desire for a black belt.
