Ep.12: Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes | Wisconsin's 45th Lieutenant Governor | Building Bridges
Manage episode 298076247 series 2893901
Today’s guest is the epitome of leadership. This week on the podcast, host Mungi Ngomane is joined by Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes. Serving as Wisconsin's 45th Lieutenant Governor, he was elected on November 8th, 2018 and is the first African American to serve as a Lieutenant Governor in Wisconsin— the second African American to ever hold statewide office. Born and raised in Milwaukee, Lt. Gov. Barnes is the son of a public-school teacher and a manufacturing assembly line worker—both union members to whom he credits with shaping his worldview. The Lieutenant Governor and Mungi discuss the importance of public service in his life, what his role entails, and what needs to change in U.S. politics. Lt. Governor Barnes also shares how his role interacts with structural racism and police violence, and how he tries to create and build bridges. Like many of us, his greatest fear for humanity is climate change, which is why his role serving as the Chair of the Governor's Task Force on Climate Change is so important to him.
Milwaukee has been described as one of the worst places to be raised Black, but Lieutenant Governor Barnes was able to see first-hand the difference that opportunity makes. Listen to this episode to hear how he uses a platform of sustainability and equity to fight for solutions that invest in opportunities and fairness for every child, person and family in Wisconsin.
