Harmeet Dhillon on Her Biggest Challenges

STAND with Kelly and Niki Tshibaka

Embark on an enlightening journey with Harmeet Dillon, the formidable civil rights advocate and Republican Party luminary, as she shares the riveting tale of her ascent through the ranks of both the legal and political realms. Her story is one of defying odds—from the confines of a conservative religious immigrant household to smashing the legal profession's glass ceilings. Harmeet candidly opens up about the intricacies of establishing her own law firm, a haven championing diversity, family values, and the pursuit of excellence under the banner of American equality. The conversation takes a critical turn as we scrutinize the disappointing disconnect between today's political leaders and their constituents, the pervasive influence of money in politics, and Harmeet's evolving thoughts on term limits as a possible antidote to political inertia.
As we pivot to the worrisome patterns of voter engagement, the spotlight falls on Alaska's 2022 elections, which saw historically low turnout. This concerning trend is a stark reminder of the perils of voter suppression and its corrosive effect on the fabric of our democracy. I make a compelling case for the power of active citizenship as the lifeblood of transformative change within our nation. This episode also shines a light on the critical work being done at the Liberty Center, an initiative that Harmeet Dillon is passionate about, aimed at reinforcing the democratic process. Join us in a deep-dive into the importance of maintaining the pillars of our democracy for current and future generations.
