Andy Ellis Talks About His Campaign For Governor of Maryland With His Dad, Steve Ellis

Today’s episode of the podcast is very special one for me, instead of me interviewing someone else I am being interviewed by my dad, Steve Ellis.   My dad had a long career as world renowned communications expert, he worked in PR, politics, media and public service, and he traveled all over the nation and the world doing it. He is also an amazing photographer who keeps winning awards for his excellent pictures, you will see his photographs all over my campaign. Like most people, I don’t always agree with my dad on politics, which makes me even more excited to have his support in this campaign. So as we get closer to our campaign launch, next Saturday January 4th in Annapolis, I am excited to sit down with my dad to talk about my campaign.
