Dean Ian Solomon talks with two Arizona Republicans – Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates, who presided over the county’s pivotal 2020 presidential election recount, and former state Senator Heather Carter – about the challenges they have faced by working across the aisle and the importance of communication.

This audio-only episode is the second in a three-part series featuring elected leaders who are alums of Rodel Institute’s prestigious Rodel Fellowship leadership development program. UVA’s Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy is a partner of the institute, and Dean Solomon serves on the board of directors.
