Week after week this legislative session, Kristina Richardson made the six-hour round trip trek from her home in Hardin County to the Tennessee state Capitol. She joined a small handful of other women that has launched a grassroots effort over the last year to oust Rep. David Byrd from the House of Representatives.

Richardson talks with us about the group's plans for the future, and what other lawmakers they have their eyes on.

On this week's episode, you'll also hear from Knoxville News Sentinel Reporter Tyler Whetstone about the state of the city's mayoral election, for which early voting is ongoing through Aug. 22. Election Day is Aug. 27.
