At The Jenkins Journal, we aim to provide insightful analysis on state and federal policies, with a focus on how they intersect with everyday lives and broader cultural shifts. Our goal is to foster understanding by presenting a variety of perspectives on pressing political and social issues. The Journal serves as a preliminary deep dive into the themes and topics that are later unpacked in greater detail on our companion podcast, Behind the Ballot.
Together, The Jenkins Journal and Behind the Ballot form a dynamic media platform committed to civic engagement and accessible political discourse. We regularly conduct public polling to capture real time sentiment on hot-button issues and to shape upcoming conversations. Each podcast episode builds on the Journal’s foundational insights and often features special guests—including policymakers, experts, and activists—who bring firsthand experience and thought-provoking viewpoints to the table.
Whether through written analysis or in-depth interviews, our mission is to elevate the political conversation and empower our audience to stay informed, think critically, and engage meaningfullyJenkins Journal is a preliminary analysis on topics that will be covered on the Behind the Ballot podcast
