This week I was glad to launch the Renovator’s Substack Live series with a lively conversation with Anne-Marie Slaughter (New America), Angela Rachidi (AEI), and Patrick Brown (Ethics and Public Policy Center) about New Mexico’s new universal childcare policy. We discussed childcare as a public good and how best to get public sector, private sector, and civil society organizations integrated in a new vision for childcare infrastructure. Enjoy! And send us topic ideas for future conversations. This video pairs well with one of The Renovator’s most popular pieces, Anne-Marie’s essay ‘Family First.’ Happy Sunday!

I recently received a campaign pitch that truly surprised me. It was from a Democrat named Robb Ryerse running for Congress in Arkansas. What specifically caught my attention was the way he formulated his three core values: “Faith, Family, and Freedom.”
