This week on the Working Lunch podcast, the team from Align Public Strategies does a deep dive on the election results and drills down on what happened, why it happened, and what restaurant operators need to know going forward.

Additionally, the podcast is joined by Joe Kefauver’s old friend and colleague Gerard Dehrmann, senior vice president of public affairs and state & local government relations for Walmart. He shares his insights on how his company – the world’s largest – is viewing the political, legislative, and reputational challenges – and opportunities – that lay ahead for employers.

The podcast wraps up with the weekly legislative scorecard.
