Getting Real on the Mic with Rep. Marissa Flores

Sometimes, the best ideas—and the real truth—come out when you're not trying to polish every word. I had that chance this week when I joined Precinct 3 Representative Marissa Flores on her podcast, Off the Hill with Marissa Flores. It was raw, honest, and full of the kind of conversation people in our community are having every day. We laughed, we got real, and we spoke openly about the challenges we face and the vision we share for the future of the CNMI. Not everything was filtered—and that’s the point. Being true to how we really think, talk, and process the hard stuff is part of what makes public service meaningful and human. Thank you, Rep. Flores, for the space to be candid, for the questions that mattered, and for keeping it all the way real.
