EXPLORING HOW SOCIAL MEDIA SHAPES WHAT WE BELIEVE --AND HOW TO THINK BEYOND THE NOISE

In this episode of The BoricuaBC2 Show, Bill Cancel welcomes Kate McLaughlin, a singer-songwriter turned Senate candidate from Montana. As the first guest on the show actively running for the United States Senate, Kate brings a powerful message centered on accountability, economic fairness, and restoring public trust in government. Through candid and relatable conversation, Kate outlines the urgent issues facing working-class Americans and how her lived experience and belief in direct representation shapes her campaign.
