Retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Mara Keller has seen what happens when nobody listens — paralyzed veterans waiting months for a working wheelchair, patients left unattended, problems kicked up the chain and buried. So she's running for Congress in Georgia's Third District to do something about it. Marcus Flowers and Madeline Somerville sit down with the Democratic candidate and HTL endorsee to talk about 26 years of military service, her time at the Atlanta VA, why she carries binders full of constituent concerns, and why she thinks Congress is going to hate her — and why that's exactly the point. Plus: what it means to be a Democrat in an 80% Republican district, why swing voters are the real target, and the core values that got her through years of military retaliation after doing the right thing.
