Progressive Devilry is a YouTube channel, podcast, and LiveStream hosted by Andrew & Stella. Their goal is to make politics more accessible to those interested, help give you a direct line to your Representatives, and the resources to understand the political battleground.
Here are a few words from your Hosts:
Growing up in the rolling hills of the Kittitas Valley, I was raised Republican. After moving to the “west side” of Washington State, near Seattle, I was exposed an enormous cascade of viewpoints different from my cattle ranch, gun toting, anti-democrat upbringing. I’ve found a unique view that tends to straddle both party lines, based in logic and filtered through the lens of humanity.

Hello! I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, near Seattle, but have lived half my life in Eastern Washington where I now reside. My political views are based foundationally on Human Rights.
— Stella
