Butland has more than 45 years of experience in government and political communication. He spent about half his career working for the late U.S. Senator and astronaut John Glenn.

The book is called When Ohio Was Blue.

We’ll hear about Butland’s career, his time with John Glenn and his take on Ohio’s current political landscape.
