How a Democrat can win in a MAGA District
A conversation with Fred Wellman
In this episode of Just Ask the Question, host Brian Karem sits down with 22-year Army combat veteran, On Democracy podcast host, and Missouri Congressional candidate Fred Wellman for an unvarnished discussion on military strategy and economic reality. Wellman delivers a sharp critique of current Pentagon leadership and the administration’s handling of the war in Iran, raising alarms over drone warfare unpreparedness, strategic errors, and a troubling lack of transparency surrounding troop casualties. Shifting to domestic policy, Wellman addresses America’s worsening affordability crisis, exposing how Washington politics and billionaire tax breaks continue to leave working-class families behind in a K-shaped economy. He outlines his campaign for Missouri’s 2nd Congressional District, highlighting a pragmatic approach centered on protecting individual freedoms, revitalizing local infrastructure, and restoring accountability to Capitol Hill.

Mr. Wellman--this is excellent! We need all in the federal government to do as you're going to do your best to accomplish when you win. (See Brian, I CAN be optimistic at times!) The BASICS like you and Brian mentioned are the primary NEEDS--not WANTS--of ALL Americans. And they're all NECESSARY for all of us to lead/have decent lives. Hope you can spread the word to others who are running for office and there will be enough of them who win and can make changes in D.C. Thank you!
