## Resource

In this episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Katelyn Bledsoe and Lauren Stewart to bring listeners inside Washington, D.C., with exclusive conversations from members of Congress. Recorded during the Republican Study Committee’s media row, the episode covers key issues shaping the nation—from the Working Family Tax Cut Act and its impact on everyday Americans to the growing push for permitting reform aimed at lowering costs and boosting economic growth. Beyond policy, the conversation highlights the critical role of grassroots activism, with members of Congress emphasizing how everyday Americans drive real change. Listeners will also hear personal stories from lawmakers about their own “one small step” into public service—and even which Founding Fathers they’d most like to meet. This episode offers a unique, behind-the-scenes look at policymaking in action—and a reminder that meaningful change starts with getting involved.
