Relating with People on the Other End of the Spectrum with Jaclyn Corriveau

Jaclyn Corriveau is an activist and member of the Massachusetts Republican Party. Jaclyn was a 2016 Republican special election candidate for the Twelfth Essex District of the Massachusetts House of Representatives. She was also a member of the Massachusetts Commission for Refugees and Immigrants and the Commission on the Status of Asian Americans. Jaclyn graduated with a degree in Political Science from Simmons University.

Jaclyn joins me today to explain how to engage young voters in right-leaning politics. She shares the lessons she learned from running for public office at a young age and the legacy she wants to leave in the Republican party. She also highlights the importance of educating yourself on social, political, and economic issues and underscores what Democrats and Republicans have in common.

“We have the same priorities. We want low gas prices; we want safe schools; we want every child to feel loved and accepted—the only disagreement is how to get there.”
