Tina and Hillary cover former Fall River Massachusetts mayor Jasiel Correia and former Mayor of DC, Marion Barry.
Tina’s Story
Jasiel Correia became the youngest mayor of Fall River after winning the 2015 election and his early terms were clouded by a 2018 wire fraud charge. But, when he’s arrested again in 2019, his career goes up in smoke.
Hillary’s Story
Marion Barry had a storied legacy of civil rights activism before winning his first term as Washington, DC mayor in 1979. But, when he’s busted for cocaine use in 1990, he risks his career and reputation.
