Julie Zimmerman for SC House District 71: Education, Healthcare & the "Purple State" Reality

In Episode 292 of The All About Nothing podcast, Barrett Gruber sits down with Julie Zimmerman, the Democratic candidate for South Carolina State House District 71.

Julie shares her deeply personal journey into politics, sparked by a desire to provide a genuine alternative for her community in the wake of national shifts. They dive into the front-line issues facing South Carolinians today: the crisis in public education, the urgent need for mental health access in schools, and the growing healthcare deserts across the state.

Julie challenges the conventional wisdom of the "Deep South," arguing that South Carolina is actually a "purple state" that is simply waiting for working-class representation. If you believe that "all politics is local," this conversation is a must-watch for understanding the future of advocacy and voter engagement in 2026.

Just a guy that wears free shirts. Seriously. You give him a shirt, he will absolutely wear it. Don't ask for it back. He's all about the freebies. Seriously, again, he begs for free stuff.
