Bo Hess | Asheville City Council Candidate

This episode begins our six-part series of interviews with each candidate for Asheville City Council. Most candidates for state and federal offices started in politics at a local level. Bo Hess took a different approach. In 2020, he says, he ran for a U.S. Congressional seat as a training ground for what he wants now—a seat on Asheville’s City Council.  He talks about his varied background—as a social worker, addiction specialist, therapist, law enforcement trainer, community activist, part time teacher and clinical supervisor—and how he believes all of that can serve the city well should he win a seat on City Council. We talk about how he’d like to influence the council’s approach to public safety, affordable housing and other hot-button issues for Asheville and for voters.
