This week on <a href="https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2024/10/22/the-gaggle-at-azcentral-com-a-podcast-about-arizona-politics/75784742007/">The Gaggle</a>, we are joined by an associate professor of public policy at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. Together we discuss why this phenomenon is happening and what the consequences of knowing the political allegiances of local councils are.
