Good&Game - Chris Jones - Conversation 3.1

Chris Jones is here to challenge the status quo. Iowa has a water pollution problem. Since the 1970's water researchers have been worried about nitrate pollution in Iowa waterways, in 1992 Des Moines Water Works installed the world's largest nitrate removal system and just this week - May of 2026 - Central Iowa's two major water drinking sources were too polluted to drink. Jones has been studying cause-effect for his entire career and now he's taking big action. Chris Jones is running for Iowa's Secretary of Agriculture. What sets Jones apart from other scientists is his ability to communicate a complex topic to the general public and it's working. In the first conversation of Good&Game Collection 3.0, Michael Admire and Chris Jones dive into all things water, Iowa Ag, and how to communicate in a divided landscape like Iowa politics.
