Doug Pagitt and Dan Deitrich share excerpts from Monday's Vote Common Good event in Holland, Michigan to highlight the quiet heroes - most of whom are Republicans themselves - running against bullying MAGA extremists in local elections. West Michigan is just a microcosm of a national rise in aggressive, threatening, bullying tactics by the GOP in local elections for positions like school board and county commissioner.

Doug Pagitt and Robb Ryerse sit down with Candidate for Common Good Nan Whaley, the former Mayor of Dayton who is the Democratic nominee for Governor of Ohio.

Through it all, Dayton has come out stronger and more resilient thanks to her leadership. Now she's running for Governor.
