A few people know that I am something of a political junkie. I did some presidential campaigning in high school, then I got into journalism and covered national politics during Watergate. I'm less focused on it now but anyone can drag me into a conversation about it
A few weeks ago I got a call from the press secretary for Madison Horn, who is running for the US Congress out of the 5th Oklahoma congressional district, asking if I wanted to interview her.
Really? Why does a candidate in Oklahoma want to talk to a cybersecurity journalist in California. I was intrigued, so “sure.” Ms. Horn, who also ran for the US Senate a couple of years ago, is optimistic about the state (which is a positive thing) and, to the point, she’s a white-hat hacker who founded a pen-testing company. So there is the hook.
We talked for about 30 minutes and she educated me on some of the more positive things about her state and, in particular, the political leanings of her district. More importantly, we talk about how our legislators need to be tech-savvy.
