Shahid Buttar, Democratic Primary Challenger to Nancy Pelosi for CA-12

Join host Ian Thomas Malone as she interviews Shahid Buttar, who is currently challenging Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi for a seat in Congress representing the twelfth district of California. Shahid has made a career of speaking truth to power, as an attorney with a long career in civil rights fighting for LGBTQ equality, immigrant rights, and First Amendment protections, among many others. Throughout a wide-ranging conversation, Shahid explains how his roots in progressive activism have prepared him for elected office. Primary challenges are always an uphill battle, but Shahid is a candidate with a proven track record advocating for the causes he’s centered his campaign around.
