How We Actually Get Things Done in Government with Mayor Gloria and Arizona AG Mayes

This week, Andy sits down with two leaders getting real results for real people. First, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, the first person of color and the first LGBTQ+ person ever elected to lead America's eighth-largest city. Todd's spent his career in public service, from San Diego County's Health and Human Services Agency to the state legislature, and now as mayor, where he's tackling housing, homelessness and public safety head-on.

Then, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes calls in fresh off helping lead one of the biggest consumer protection settlements in years: a $17 billion deal with Meta over the harm social media has done to kids. It's a major win for families and a rare example of bipartisan cooperation, with more than 40 attorneys general from both parties coming together to get it done.

Andy and his guests dig into how government can actually work for people, and why progress doesn't require everyone to agree – it just requires people willing to show up and get something done anyway.

Plus, Andy shares an update on his upcoming book tour for "Go and Do Likewise." Tickets are moving fast, with several cities already sold out so don't forget to grab yours: AndyBeshear.com/Tour.
