Feb. 1, 2021 - Sean Strub (Mayor of Milford, Pennsylvania)

Sean Strub was the subject in the award winning feature documentary MY FRIEND, THE MAYOR:
SMALL-TOWN POLITICS IN THE AGE OF TRUMP. A film about his pursuit (a gay man, HIV positive, liberal) of becoming mayor of Milford, Pennsylvania, a Trump supporting “red” town. It played at our LGBTQ+ Film Festival to rave reviews. Some of our frequent attendees called it the most joyful film that has ever played at our festivals. (Sean wins. Spoiler alert!!)

This is one of those podcasts where we could have chatted with Sean for 5 hours. He’s lead a fascinating life. Just go to his Wikipedia page for examples. This podcast chat was about making this documentary, his motivations to run for mayor, and the day to day operations of being a mayor of a small town.
