In a new segment of Off The Clock, Converge Media's Omari Salisbury hosted a conversation joined by Washington state GOP’s gubernatorial candidate Semi Bird. Born in East Oakland, California, Bird moved to Seattle at six years old. Despite dropping out of high school, he enlisted in the Marine Corps, earned a diploma, and later a bachelor's degree. After serving in the military again as a Special Forces member, he transitioned to federal employment. Now, as the first Black American endorsed by the Washington GOP in state history, he seeks to become the next governor.

Nick Brown recently took center stage on The Day With Trae, chronicling the beginning of his career journey to his roles as legal aid for Governor Jay Inslee and the U.S. Attorney for Washington's Western District to his current bid for the position of Attorney General of Washington. Starting his conversation with host Trae Holiday, Brown reflected on his introduction to law and politics, highlighting the influence of his parents, both former public servants who promoted values of engagement and service throughout his childhood. 

Alexis Mercedes Rinck, who recently announced her candidacy for the Seattle City Council's Position 8 citywide seat, recently appeared on The Day with Trae to discuss her candidacy and vision for the city. Rinck is challenging the newly elected Tanya Woo, who declared her intention to keep the seat earlier this month.
