About

"Blue Souls, Red States" documents voters, candidates, and community members in politically divided districts where elections are decided by narrow margins. Through interviews and on-the-ground reporting, the project examines why people challenge Republican strongholds and how politics shapes daily life, relationships, and identity. Across audio, video, and written work, it aims to replace noise with listening and offer a clearer picture of how Americans are navigating difference at the local level.
