Grant Starrett is a lawyer and politician in Tennessee. Kind of a model, if you’re a conservative Republican – a blue-chipper. He ran for Congress this year, against the Republican incumbent, and lost. Still in his twenties, he will probably run again, with a different result.
Jay is a friend of Starrett’s, and they talk about running for office: the fundraising, the handshaking, the issues, and so on. They also talk about conservatism. How did Starrett become one, by the way?
He was a precocious conservative – a reader of National Review and The Weekly Standard when he was in elementary school yet.
Starrett is a man who is “in the arena,” who has knocked on doors and put his name on the ballot. His views on politics – the practicalities of politics, as well as the philosophy – are highly interesting.
