The interview marks an important step in the evolution of drag performers in promoting participation in democracy and the voting process during the 2020 election.

Among other topics, they discussed what motivates him as a public servant and politician, his willingness to cut his trademark ponytail to support youth-serving organizations throughout Vermont, and how he started his trademark of bringing carrots instead of candy to campaign events.
