Sen. Jeremy England: Neighbors Before Opponents

Politics works best when we remember we’re neighbors before we’re opponents. But in an age of polarization, is that still possible?

In this episode, Grant sits down with State Senator Jeremy England to discuss the experiences and convictions that have shaped his approach to public service. From growing up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and becoming the first in his family to attend college to serving in the Mississippi Senate, Jeremy explains why relationships, humility, and trust are essential to good government.

The conversation explores America’s founding principles in the wake of the nation’s 250th anniversary, Mississippi’s recent momentum in education and workforce development, and the challenges of labor force participation, benefits cliffs, and strengthening families. Whether discussing policy or politics, Jeremy returns to a simple but often overlooked idea: lasting progress begins when we see one another not as enemies, but as neighbors working toward a common good.
