43 Years of Community Work - Now He's Running for Congress | Marshall Davis Sr.

Marshall L. Davis Sr. has spent over 40 years guiding kids and building community programs across Miami — and now he's running for Congress in District 24. In this episode he shares what pushed him into politics, the impact of the McDuffie riots on his path, and the success stories that have come out of his programs over the decades.

We also get into his 3-3 affordability plan for education and housing, funding cultural centers, attracting business to Liberty City, the difference between politics and "politricks," and what his first day in Congress would look like. Plus a story about a gift from a Ghanaian chief and his top 3 Miami restaurants.
