Blayne Soleymani-Pearson is running for Washington County Commissioner in District 2. He's a domestic violence prosecutor and a father to kids who deserve to grow up in a county that fights for people who look like them.

When he was three or four years old, he watched his mother get attacked. He shielded his little brother. He chased the man away. He couldn't save her, but that moment moved through his whole life. It's why he became a lawyer. It's why he's spent years prosecuting domestic violence cases, connecting that childhood wound to helping the next person, the next family.

When the federal government threatened to strip funding for DEI, other counties sued. Washington County said we won't rock the boat. And Blayne watched the most diverse county in the state abandon its own people. He watched Nafisa Fai stand alone.

He's running to stand with her. Because people who look like his wife and his kids deserve a commissioner who will fight. Not compromise. Fight.

Listen to why he's in this race.

Guest:Blayne Soleymani-Pearson, Candidate for Washington County Commissioner, District 2
