It's election season and we're getting closer to the PA Primary election day on May 18th. Your BPM host Ash & Pierre Defecto kick off their interview series of candidates running the May 2021 primary.  We start off with Ed Gainey, the current PA State Representative for the 24th District (how ironic he made our 24th episode), and candidate for Mayor in the City of Pittsburgh. In this episode we'll hear about how Ed tapped into the space of politics, his first job out of undergrad (we were not expecting his answer but it's what makes these kind of stories REAL), a few of his successes as a State Representative, and his plans as the Mayor of Pittsburgh.  Tune in to the episode to hear more and keep a lookout for our upcoming episodes with more candidates.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bpm412/support
