Shaping Presidential Primaries: The Role of Early States

In this episode, we sit down with three of the hardest-working people in politics: party chairs of the early primary states. Ray Buckley of New Hampshire, Daniele Monroe-Moreno of Nevada, and Christale Spain of South Carolina talk about what it really means to run a state party. We dig into how under-resourced these operations are, why state parties are the backbone of democracy, and how early states shape the national conversation long before Election Day. It’s a reminder that real power starts close to home, and it starts with us.
